Roland-Garros: Gauff overcomes slow start to move into second round

American Coco Gauff, the No 6 seed, moved into the second round of Roland-Garros by winning against Spaniard Rebeka Masarova 3-6, 6-1, 6-2 in Paris on Tuesday.

Gauff had won their previous encounter in the Auckland final earlier this year 6-1, 6-1, so her lethargic start was a little unexpected – but she regrouped to win her 13th first-round match at a Slam.

Gauff, ranked No 6, will play the winner of the match between Dutch qualifier Arantxa Rus and Austrian Julia Grabher next.
