Goood Afternooon!
The opening day of the French Open 2021 proved to be a mixed bag for India. While the country's campaign started with a loss with Dhruv Kapila and Sikki Reddy knocked out, Sameer Verma put up a wonderful display to register his first-ever victory against South Korea's Lee Dong Keun.
Unlike day 1, day 2 will feature a whopping 13 matches featuring Indians. Will a majority of them succeed in crossing the first hurdle?
Stay tuned to find out.
