Daniil Medvedev didn’t hang around. Like Novak Djokovic the day before, the Russian needed less than two hours to rally in week two. Opposed to the Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic (31st), the world number 2 won in three sets (6-2, 6-4, 6-2), without ever having been worried (2 break points saved).
The Russian, who has still not dropped a single Porte d’Auteuil set, will face Gilles Simon or the Croatian Marin Cilic, seeded number 20, on Monday.
