Lots of people watched 2008 French Open champion Ana Ivanovic warming up on court 15 this afternoon, I managed to get a few pictures (see below).
A few hours later, Ana battled to defeat Yaroslava Shevdova in three sets 4-6 6-2 6-0 and reach the second round. Her next opponent is the Japanese Misaki Doi.
Nick Kyrgios and Jerzy Janowicz practiced together on court 18 this afternoon. Kyrgios will face Denis Istomin on court 3 tomorrow, Janowicz will meet Maxime Hamou on Tuesday.
Some pics of Tomas Berdych practicing with Kei Nishikori on court Suzanne Lenglen on Friday afternoon.
The number 4 seed will face Japanese qualifier Yoshihito Nishioka in the first round. How far do you think Berdych will go in this tournament?
Lower tournaments are a good opportunity to discover young players in the making like Karen Khachanov and Quentin Halys, or some charismatic veteran players like Rudy Coco.
