French Open Day 2 LIVE – Sinner, Swiatek and Nadal all in action on bumper day

This is running away from Chris all too quickly.

His big serve is misfiring and Sinner is reaping the rewards. The Italian throws in another drop shot on the first of two break points but this time it flops into the net. Never mind says Jannik as he reverts to raw power on the return to force the mistake and secure the double break.

Sinner remains flawless on serve, firing off a pair of winners and then drawing a backhand long following a zinger of his own off that flank to draw the error. He consolidates to love and so far there’s no sign of any rust following that hip injury.

Eubanks is very nervy out there and pretty much breaks himself. The American coughs up quickfire double faults and is then left bamboozled by a stunning Sinner dropper from deep.

Eubanks faces up to two break points but collapses on the first of them with a tight forehand into the net.

A pair of aces and a trademark winner are a winning hand for Jannik as he blitzes through a clean hold to get on the board with aplomb.

Eubanks shrugs off an untimely double fault that forces him to deuce, survives a raking Sinner backhand just long and then swats away a very tidy winner to avoid an early disaster.

Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of Day 2 at the 2024 French Open. We’ve got some big names in action today with 14-time Roland-Garros champion Rafael Nadal headlining in his first-round match against No.4 seed Alexander Zverev.
