Medvedev, quarterfinalist of the tournament in 2021, passed over the young Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic (31st) without ever giving up his serve, winning the victory with a firm 6-2, 6-4, 6-2.
“It was hard to see that everyone wondered how it was possible to be world number 2 without getting past the first round here,” he said, alluding to the fact that before last year’s edition he had not won a match at the French Open.

Today, the Swedish Mikael Ymer (95th) was no match for the 23-year-old Greek, who won 6-2, 6-2, 6-1 in just an hour and a half.
