Kenin shocked
Local wildcard Margaux Rouvroy claimed a huge upset as she knocked out former Australian Open champion and Roland-Garros runner-up Sofia Kenin 6-4, 6-3 in one hour and 39 minutes.
The 22-year-old Rouvroy, ranked 278 in the world, was contesting her first ever women's match at a Grand Slam event and looked undaunted by the occasion as she utilised her impressive court coverage to maximum effect to dismiss the former world No.4.
Kenin has slipped to 120 in the rankings after an injury-plagued 2022 campaign but was starting to find her form and produced a big performance to defeat world No.2 Aryna Sabalenka in Rome earlier this month.
The American led by a break multiple times throughout the match against Rouvroy but seemed troubled by a thigh injury that required medical attention in the second set.
Rouvroy will next take on 25-year-old Iryna Shymanovich.
