On Day 2 of the 2023 French Open, Carlos Alcaraz, the No. 1 seed and the No. 1 men's tennis player in the world, managed to both dominate and make a comeback against qualifier Flavio Cobolli, a 21-year-old in his first Grand Slam main draw.
In the first two sets, the 20-year-old Alcaraz was unfailingly dominant. He took the first set 6-0 in just 26 minutes, and despite Cobolli winning two games, won the second set in just 27 minutes. It looked like Alcaraz could not be stopped, despite the crowd urging Cobolli to fight back and make the match competitive.
For Alcaraz, much of this match looked like it was somewhere between a practice and a highlight reel. He controlled the match for the first two sets, making everything look effortless. Then got in the weeds a bit, but worked himself out and closed out the match. If anyone was worried about his early defeat at the Italian Open, Monday's defeat of Cobolli should give them all peace of mind. Alcaraz is ready.It's just Day 2 at Roland Garros, but the Americans looking good so far.
Lucky loser Elina Avanesyan, ranked No. 134 in the world, took down No. 12 Belinda Bencic in three sets. The 20-year-old was overjoyed,Sloane Stephens, unseeded going into Roland Garros and currently ranked No. 30 in the world, defeated the No. 16 seed Karolina Pliskova in straight sets. Pliskova won zero games in the first set, and though she put up a fight in the second set, Stephens was too much for her.
