French Open: Day 3 Update


Serbian fifth seed Jelena Jankovic has progressed to the second round of the French Open, beating Czech Petra Cetkovska, 6-2, 6-3. Jankovic, who reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros last year, will next face either Slovak Magdalena Rybarikova or Kristina Mladenovic of France for a place in the third round.


Svetlana Kuznetsova beat French wildcard Claire Feuerstein, 6-1, 6-4, to go through. The Russian seventh seed, runner-up here in 2006, had already broken twice to race to a 5-1 lead before rain interrupted play. Kuznetsova, whose passing shots left her opponent often rooted to the spot, broke again the seventh and eventually sealed victory on her third matchpoint with a powerful forehand that was too good for Feuerstein.


The world No 2 Serena Williams needed celebrated at Roland Garros on Tuesday, jumping up and down on the red clay of Court Suzanne Lenglen, nine match points to complete the win, and it was played in cold and windy conditions that had the former champion picking the clay out of her eyes. With all that to think about, you can understand why Williams marked her 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 win with more than a small smile.


Men's fourth seed Novak Djokovic reached the second round when his opponent, Ecuadorian Nicolas Lapentti, retired because of injury with the Serb leading 6-3, 3-1.
