French Open: Dan Evans & Cameron Norrie win at Roland Garros, Harriet Dart loses on debut

Cameron Norrie has never reached the second week of a Grand Slam

After a superb couple of years on the ATP Tour, Norrie is looking to transfer his fine form into a deep Grand Slam run. "It feels really good to win today. It would be the first time I've made the second week of a Slam and I'd like to tick that box." Lengthy games characterised an opening set that lasted well over an hour, with mistakes rather than quality ending the points.

Endurance is one of Norrie's strengths - along with his forehand from a technical perspective - and both qualities came to the fore in the final set. Watson, who turned 30 last week, was unable to reach the second round for the sixth time in her career.
