PARIS, May 26 — Thousands of spectators made their way through the Roland Garros gates under cloudy skies with intervals of sunshine to attend the French Open as the year’s second Grand Slam tournament got underway in western Paris toda.
With fit-again 14-times champion Rafa Nadal back at Roland Garros and playing fourth seed Alexander Zverev tomorrow, Parisian fans gathered to watch former world number one Naomi Osaka face Lucia Bronzetti in today’s opener on Court Philippe-Chatrier. “He’s from Spain and he’s been playing really good in the different tournaments he’s been in. He’s won the US Open, he’s won Wimbledon and I think he’s coming for the French Open.”
“This year, we’re starting with the first day so we hope to see some French players, which isn’t the case when you go in the middle of the week,” said local fan Alex Lefevre, who has been a regular with his eight-year-old son.
