The second day of Roland Garros featured notable performances and surprising upsets:

Men’s Singles:

• Jannik Sinner, the world No. 1, continued his excellent Grand Slam run by beating Arthur Rinderknech in straight sets, though he had to fight back in the third.
• Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion, cruised through his first-round match against Giulio Zeppieri.
• There were major upsets as Taylor Fritz and Francisco Cerúndolo were knocked out in the opening round.
• Veteran Richard Gasquet earned a win against fellow Frenchman Térence Atmane, extending his Roland Garros campaign.

Women’s Singles:

• Iga Świątek, defending her title, had a confident start with a straight-sets win over Rebecca Šramková.
• Naomi Osaka was eliminated by Paula Badosa in a match marred by unforced errors.
• Rising star Jessica Bouzas Maneiro stunned ninth seed Emma Navarro with a lopsided 6-0, 6-1 win.
• Caroline Garcia played her final match at Roland Garros, falling to Bernarda Pera.

Other Highlights:

Britain saw strong performances from Katie Boulter and Jacob Fearnley, with Fearnley notably defeating former champion Stan Wawrinka.

Onto the fantasy leaderboard and we have a new leader on day 2. ‘Back On Court!’ has moved up 3 places and into the lead but their lead is very slim. Just the 1 point separates them and a joint second place between ‘Fine Whines’ and ‘Sinful’. 4th place there is a tie between ‘Strung Out’ and ‘Deuce Ex Machina’. The last prize position sits ‘Hard Hitters’. There is a massive tie around 30th place at the moment so all to play for there and in 75th place, there is also a tie. The wooden spoon is currently being held by ‘Sweet Spot’ who have scored just 11 points after the first 2 days.
