Result
Stefanos Tsitsipas needed just 1h 29m to dispatch French qualifier Hugo Gaston 6-1 6-4 6-2 on Court 16. The Greek was clinical on return, breaking five times from 15 chances while never facing a break point himself, and struck 37 winners to Gaston's 26. Tsitsipas won 91 points to 63 in a comfortable straight-sets opener.

At this Stage
Ranked outside the top 80 these days, Tsitsipas still knows his way around a first round: under an hour and a half on Court 16, five breaks of serve, 37 winners, and not one break point faced against Gaston, a clay-court qualifier who never found a foothold. Efficiency was the whole point, because the draw had already promised something far heavier. Waiting in the last 64 was Novak Djokovic, the seventh seed, a four-set winner over Wu Yibing — and there the Greek's fortnight ended in straight sets.
