Zverev overcame the Slovak with ease, Tiafoe is waiting

German Alexander Zverev qualified for the third round of the French Open tennis championship for the seventh time in his career. The number 22 seeded two-time semi-finalist in the competition won convincingly against Slovakian Alex Molchan 6:4, 6:2, 6:1 after almost two hours of play. He posted 42 putts and showed that he is regaining his form on clay.

Last year, the German suffered a severe injury to his right ankle at the end of the second set of the semifinal against Rafael Nadal (Spain), after which he underwent surgery and missed the rest of the season. Zverev's next opponent will be the 12th seed in the scheme Francis Tiafoe (USA), who won against the Russian Aslan Karatsev with 3:6, 6:3, 7:5, 6:2.

The American made up a set and an early break down in the second to reach the turnaround. The winner of the match between Zverev and Tiafoe can become an opponent in the fourth round of Grigor Dimitrov, if the best Bulgarian tennis player eliminates Daniel Altmeier (Germany).

No. 9 seed Taylor Fritz (USA) ended the hosts' hopes for the title in the men's scheme after eliminating the last remaining French singles player Arthur Rinderknech 2-6, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4. Fritz, who with the victory equaled his best ranking at "Roland Garros" since 2020, awaits the 23rd in the scheme Francisco Cerundolo (Argentina), who managed 6:3, 6:3, 6:4 with the German Yannick Hanfman, a "lucky loser" from the qualifiers.

In another match of the second round, Borna Coric eliminated the now Argentinian Pedro Cacin in five with 6:3, 4:6, 4:6, 6:3, 6:4 and now he has a meeting with another tennis player from this country - Tomas Martin Echevcheri , who dealt with Australian Alex de Minor 6:3, 7:6(2), 6:3.
