What was Day 1 of Roland Garros like? We’ll let the tweets and grams tell the story—here goes.
1. Not the best follow-through from Fernando Verdasco.
2. Who’s No.1? Yulia Putintseva is on top of the world after knocking Johanna Konta out of Roland Garros.
3. Can’t get enough Sharapova? Turn on Showtime tonight!
4. Kei Nishikori kills two birds with one stone—presser and snack (and a smile!).
5. If you like candid press conferences than you’ll love what Johanna Konta had to say to the media after another disappointing Roland Garros first-round loss.
6. Kristyna Pliskova looks pretty relaxed (and Parisian) ahead of her first-round match with Serena Williams (on Tuesday).
7. Nice to see Nole and Rafa celebrating on the same side of the net at Roland Garros Kid’s Day on Saturday.
8. AlizΓ© Cornet rubs a ball kids’ head for good luck on Day 1 and it pays off with a first-round victory over Sara Errani.
9. If you didn’t catch the end of the Verdasco-Nishioka five-setter today, well, here is what you missed…
10. He arrives! Lucky loser Marco Trungelliti completes his 9-hour trek to Paris and readies for the first round.
