Venus Williams entered the second round on Monday in a women's racing tournament at the Roman slalom tennis court. The 38-year-old American player in the first round went to the Belgian Elise Mertens and won a huge battle in a 3-hour 5-minute match.
Winner of this year's Doha tournament, Mertens wins a total of eight match balls, in the third game he was allowed to win at 6: 5 after 1: 5, but ultimately his American rival left his ninth chance unused in the acronym.
The older Williams brother can play in the second round with his sister, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, with Serena. The brother and sister will meet each other for the 31st time, and Serena will lead to 18-12 in their balance. Last time they met at the US Open, the younger brother won two games. Previously, 17 years ago, Roland Garros played in Salakon in the final of the 2002 Roland Garros.
Gael Monfils, the Frenchman, said goodbye to the men: the 15th highlight of the tournament came from the Spanish Albert Ramos-Vinol in just over an hour.
