Roland-Garros: Kvitova shocked by Cocciaretto in error-strewn first round loss
Elisabetta Cocciaretto won against Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-4 on Monday evening. She’ll face the winner of the match between Swiss qualifier Simona Waltert and American qualifier Elizabeth Mandlik in the next round
Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto shocked Czech No. 10 seed Petra Kvitova 6-3, 6-4 to advance to the second round of Roland-Garros.
Kvitova, although more of a grass and hard-court specialist, will be bitterly disappointed to have been knocked out of the French Open at the first time of asking.
Despite rallying late in the second set, breaking her Italian opponent when she was serving for the set, ultimately the two-time Grand Slam was outplayed.
Cocciaretto, ranked No. 44, will play the winner of the match between Swiss qualifier Simona Waltert and American qualifier Elizabeth Mandlik next.
