Musetti to Face Galan in French Open Second Round

Eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti advanced to the French Open second round with a commanding 7-5, 6-2, 6-0 victory over German qualifier Yannick Hanfmann, continuing his strong clay-court season after a maiden Masters 1000 final in Monte-Carlo and historic semifinal runs at all three clay Masters events. Musetti, now ranked World No. 7, will next face Daniel Galan, who reached the second round after a hard-fought five-set win in the qualifiers. Musetti leads their head-to-head 2-0 and is favored due to his superior clay record and recent form. The tournament's first round also saw top seeds Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Iga Swiatek start their campaigns, while Emma Raducanu returned to Roland Garros for the first time since 2022. Musetti's impressive all-court play and high first-serve win percentage underline his status as a contender. His momentum and confidence suggest he could go deep at the French Open.
