A feat by Matteo Gigante, who in his first participation at Roland Garros gives himself a victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas and flies to the third round .
The Italian, number 167 in the world , passed the qualifications and in the first round defeated the Lebanese Hassan. Today he showed up on the court almost as a sacrificial victim in front of the Greek, who even if not in a moment of dazzling form is still number 20 in the world and in Paris he reached the final.
The 23-year-old Roman won 6-4, 5-7, 6.2, 6-4. In the third round he will face Ben Shelton .
Lorenzo Musetti (6-4, 6-0, 6-4 against Galan) and Jasmine Paolini (6-3, 6-3 against Tomljanovic ) advance without problems. In the third round they will challenge the Argentine Navone and the Ukrainian Starodubtseva respectively. Carlos Alcaraz also advances, losing a set against Maroszan but easily taming him in the last two.
Tomorrow is the second round for the other 4 Italians competing: Jannik Sinner could mark the last career match of home favourite Richard Gasquet, then there is the derby between Matteo Arnaldi and Flavio Cobolli , and in the women's event Elisabetta Cocciaretto faces Alexandrova.
