At this Stage
Reigning French Open champions don't get soft landings, and Magda Linette — facing Mirra Andreeva for the fifth time in their careers but the first on grass — made the No. 5 seed work for every game on No. 1 Court. Andreeva's serve settled it: eight aces to two, 68 percent of first-serve points won, and a 7-5 6-4 scoreline that understates the pressure Linette applied. The Pole carved out eight break points and took only two, the sort of ledger that decides tight matches. Andreeva advanced to a heavyweight second round against Barbora Krejčíková — one that, despite taking the opening set, she would not survive.
