Zverev Advances in Olympic Title Defence

Germany's Alexander Zverev commenced his Olympic title defense with an impressive 6-2, 6-2 victory over Spain's Jaume Munar at Roland Garros. Despite a recent loss in the French Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Zverev showcased his dominance, winning in just over an hour. The world number four faced ten break points throughout the match, managing to defend against them effectively. This victory sets Zverev up for a second-round clash against Czech player Tomas Machac. Notably, Zverev aims to emulate Andy Murray by winning consecutive Olympic men's singles titles. The match was part of a day that also featured wins from tennis stars like Rafael Nadal and Coco Gauff.
