The 2nd day of the Roland Garros also had a massive opening for all the tennis fans. There were some big matches on the card that we all were waiting to see. The first round in itself had a great number of matches where all of us wanted to witness the best players on the card against each other in the first round itself.
The match that was set to be the headline of the day was between Rafael Nadal and Alexander Zverev. Who would've thought that the King Of Clay would be up against one of the upcoming stars in the first round of the tournament itself? These two players were also playing their 11th game together and there was a huge audience there to witness this iconic match between the German sensation and the 14-time champion.
