Defining the News
PARIS—Naomi Osaka swept to her first victory at the French Open in three years on Sunday, setting up a potential showdown with Iga Swiatek, as Carlos Alcaraz maintained his record of never losing in the first round of a Grand Slam.
The 26-year-old fired 31 winners, including six aces, and 45 unforced errors in a match where she gave up a 4-0 lead in the decider before finding herself 5-4 down. In 2021, she was fined for opting out of mandatory media commitments before withdrawing from the tournament in order to protect her mental health.
Alcaraz, 21, who made the semi-finals in 2023 where he was defeated by Novak Djokovic, took his first-round record at the majors to 13-0. Murray, 37, said he’s proud of his French Open career even if “when you compare it to what Rafa or Novak achieved, it obviously is minuscule”.
