French Open - Day One

Day one at the French Open and in the men's draw Roger Federer beat Lukas Lacko in straights sets and it was a routine win for Roger and who is hoping that he will win his 18th Grand slam. 

Elsewhere Jo Wilfred Tsonga beat Eduardo Vasselin in straight sets win and Jo Wilfred needs to make to at least the semi -finals or he will drop out of the top twenty. 

In the women's draw Serena Williams beat Alize Lim in straight sets and Serena is aiming for 18th grand slam and has a lot of points to defend. 

Venus Williams beat Belinda Bencic in straight sets and this was a good win for Venus. Venus had a poor French Open last year and is hoping for a better run this year.

Elsewhere Agnieszka Radwanksa beat Shuai Zhang straight sets win and she is hoping to make it to least the semi-finals and try and win her first grand slam. 

Australian Open - Day One - Men's Draw

Day one at the Australian and Novak Djokovic beat Lukas Lacko in straight sets. 

 It was a nice first round match for Novak who is the defending champion. 

He worked had but did not have to really stretch himself to win the match. 

The shock result for me was Ivan Dodig beating Ivo Karlovic straight sets.

 It was match that I thought was going to be at least four sets. 

 

So I was surprised by the comprehensive manner in which Ivan beat his fellow country man Ivo.
