Wozniacki Caves In Against Kudermetova

Following the elimination of Angelique Kerber on Sunday, Wozniacki was the next big name to be dumped out of the women's draw in shock circumstances.

After serving Kudermetova a bagel in the first stanza, few would have anticipated what was to follow, as there appeared to be a chasm in class between the players. But as the underdog settled, the Dane's play disintegrated.

Here is the moment Kudermetova secured the victory: 

BBC Sport's Russell Fuller commented on what has been a challenging year for Wozniacki to this point: 

While she's never fared particularly well on the clay courts, it will be a relief to the rest of the field that a player as dangerous as the Dane is out.

Bertens and Barty had no such issues in their matches, as they marched into Round 2 without dropping a set. There was also relief etched on the face of 26th seed Johanna Konta as she advanced, as the Briton broke her Roland Garros duck at last, per tennis commentator David Law: 

In the men's draw, Nadal barely got out of second gear in a lopsided contest with Hanfmann.

The Spaniard was at ease out on court as he breezed into the second round. The biggest scare of the day for him came courtesy of a low-hanging camera: 

Of the early encounters, the most absorbing match came between Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Daniil Medvedev, as the former produced a stunning recovery against the 12th seed.

The Frenchman delighted the home fans on Court 14, as he battled back from two sets down to win in five. His doubles partner, Nicolas Mahut, also won in five sets after being 2-0 behind on Sunday.
