Canadian tennis players Felix Auger-Aliassime and Bianca Andreescu started off Sunday’s matches at the Paris Olympics with straight-set victories after having their matches rescheduled from Saturday due to the rain.
PublishedPARIS —
Auger-Aliassime notched an unequivocal victory, in control from start to finish. The Canadian fired 10 aces, while Marcos had none.“No, there’s always room for improvement,” he said in French. “On the serve, it was very good, but I think that on the return, especially in the second set, I could have done more to apply more pressure. But since my serve went so well, I was able to use it well in the set.
“It wasn't easy. I mean, no match is easy, but I feel like my mentality right from the start, I was on it right from the first point, and that was the goal going into the match," she said."And I did that really well. I was serving well. I was returning well, and yeah, that's all I can ask for.” "I don't think there are any words to describe this. The crowd, first of all, was incredible from both sides. It was a super fun atmosphere," Andreescu said of the atmosphere at Roland Garros.
