What was the biggest shock from the first round of Roland Garros this year?

leeclarke050814mo ago

I'd say Medvedev. Fritz and Pegula notoriously a little bit suspect on clay but really fancied that Medvedev had turned a corner.

I'm not sure any of these were that surprising. All four haven't really proven their worth on the surface bar Medvedev in Rome. If I had to pick, I would say Pegula. I expected an early exit but not first round.

Pegula’s was more shocking because of how in control she was I think

Medvedev, should have got the win quite comfortably!

Medvedev - Especially after Rome

johnverrall114mo ago

I think Medvedev too, especially given who his opponent was!

For me it has to be Pegula, she is usually so consistent but just could not find her game against Birrell!

daviescallum424mo ago

Pegula for me, definitely. Meddy R1 exits don’t shock me anymore sadly! 😂

Between Fritz and Pegula... leaning towards Pegula, huge upset!
