PARIS (AP) — Coco Gauff didn’t let 10 double-faults, 12 break points or a warning from the chair umpire about receiving coaching from Dad disrupt her progress into the second round at the French Open. The 18-year-old American opened stay in Paris with a 7-5, 6-0 victory over Canadian qualifier Rebecca Marino.
Rising star Carlos Alcaraz also advanced. The 19-year-old from Spain never faced a break point while beating Juan Ignacio Londero 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 in less than two hours.
Dominic Thiem extended his losing streak to 10 matches as he works his way back from a torn tendon in his right wrist.
Also making early exits Sunday were two-time Grand Slam champion Garbiñe Muguruza and No. 6 seed Ons Jabeur. Muguruza won the French Open in 2016 and Wimbledon in 2017.
