At this Stage

There are gentle re-entries for a man playing his first match in a month, and then there is Tommy Paul on grass. Müller, back from the right-calf injury that forced his Roland Garros retirement, ran into a 21st seed still humming from a Queen's Club final; it lasted barely over an hour. Paul broke seven times, never faced a break point and out-hit the Frenchman 35 winners to six, then took care of qualifier Kwon Soon-woo in straight sets when the last 64 came around. Some fortnights announce themselves early; at this stage, Paul had conceded next to nothing to anyone.
