PARIS \u2014 Aryna Sabalenka\u2019s diamonds sparkled in the sun during a first-round victory Tuesday at the heat-soaked French Open.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top-ranked Sabalenka looked light on her feet on Court Philippe-Chatrier, despite wearing two thick necklaces in a 6-4, 6-2 win against Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDiamonds, I don\u2019t really feel the heaviness, but I can imagine how it looks from the outside,\u201d said Sabalenka, the tournament runner-up last year to Coco Gauff. \u201cSo I feel pretty comfortable. For me, it\u2019s important to look good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The four-time major winner was initially going to wear three necklaces but said she thought that might be too much.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt probably sounds a bit crazy, but when I feel good about what I\u2019m wearing, how I look on court, I tend to perform much better,\u201d Sabalenka said. \u201cI like to bring a little bit of a fashion on the tennis court. I know the dress that I will wear on the Grand Slam, and I just try to come up with something to match the outfit.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sabalenka said she wasn\u2019t worried about protecting her jewelry when she\u2019s off the court.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have my fianc\u00e9. He\u2019s kind of like my security,\u201d she said, smiling. \u201cMy physio does jujitsu, so I feel pretty secure walking around. If I go somewhere, I don\u2019t go alone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Gauff began her title defense with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over fellow American Taylor Townsend, while four-time major winner Naomi Osaka beat Laura Siegemund, 6-3, 7-6 (7-3), on Court Suzanne-Lenglen wearing a sequined gold playing dress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frenchwoman Lois Boisson, who made a surprise run to the semifinals last year when she was ranked 361st, lost, 6-2, 6-2, to 22nd-seeded Anna Kalinskaya.<\/span><\/p>\n

For a third consecutive day, the temperature in Paris rose far above normal, reaching a scorching 95.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m from Florida, so this is nothing. Shout-out Delray Beach,\u201d said Gauff, who kept her spare rackets in a court-side cooler during the match.<\/span><\/p>\n

The unusually hot conditions made the courts faster than usual. Daniil Medvedev usually thrives in such conditions but he struggled in a five-set loss to 97th-ranked Australian opponent Adam Walton.<\/span><\/p>\n

Walton, who received a wild-card invitation from tournament organizers, beat Medvedev, 6-2, 1-6, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. It was Medvedev\u2019s second straight first-round exit here and third in four years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know why I don\u2019t really play my best in Roland Garros, but if I say it, it\u2019s [making] excuses,\u201d he said. \u201cSo I keep it to myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Playing in the night session, top-ranked Jannik Sinner routed 171st-ranked French wild-card entry Clement Tabur, 6-1, 6-3, 6-4, to extend his winning streak to 30 matches as he chases the only big title missing in his tennis career.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stefanos Tsitsipas, the 2021 runner-up to Novak Djokovic, was leading, 6-2, 3-0, against Alexandre Muller when his French opponent retired. Muller injured his right calf, three months after injuring his left calf.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ninth-seeded Alexander Bublik was beaten, 7-5, 6-7 (6-8), 6-4, 7-5, by Jan-Lennard Struff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alexander Blockx withdrew from the tournament with a right ankle sprain, making Alex de Minaur \u2014 his scheduled second round opponent \u2014 the first player into the third round.<\/span><\/p>\n

French teenager Mo\u00efse Kouam\u00e9 made the perfect start to his French Open career with a 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, 6-1 win over Marin Cilic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 17-year-old Kouam\u00e9 won one day after 39-year-old Frenchman Gael Monfils made his last appearance at Roland Garros.<\/span><\/p>\n

The teenager raised his arms in triumph after defeating the 37-year-old Cilic, who won the 2014 US Open, finished runner-up at two other majors, and reached the French Open semifinals in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ATP Tour said No. 318-ranked Kouam\u00e9 became the first man born in 2008 or later to win a Grand Slam match.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
