Andy Murray’s final French Open campaign came to an end in the first round as he was defeated by Stan Wawrinka at Roland Garros. The three-time Grand Slam champion, who has hinted at retirement after this summer, was overpowered by the 2015 French Open winner in a straight-sets loss.
Murray, once the world No 1, struggled to find his rhythm against Wawrinka, who broke him in the first game of the match and maintained his dominance throughout. Despite creating break point opportunities, Murray was unable to capitalize and eventually fell 6-4 6-4 6-2 to the Swiss veteran.
The defeat means Murray will not advance to a potential second-round meeting with Cameron Norrie, leaving Norrie and Dan Evans as the remaining Brits in the men’s singles draw. Jack Draper also suffered a first-round exit after a five-set battle against Jesper de Jong.
Meanwhile, in other matches, Carlos Alcaraz cruised through his opener, dropping just four games to beat JJ Wolf in straight sets. Andrey Rublev, the sixth seed, fought hard to overcome Taro Daniel in a challenging three-hour match.
In the women’s singles, Naomi Osaka survived a scare in her first-round match against Lucia Bronzetti, while former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko secured a straight-sets victory over Jaqueline Cristian.
