Former world No 3 Grigor Dimitrov, of Bulgaria, was the first male player to reach the second round of Roland-Garros on Sunday, beating American Marcos Giron 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 at Stade Roland-Garros in Paris.
Ranked No 20 in the world, the Bulgarian will play the winner of the match between Croatian Borna Coric and Spaniard Carlos Taberner in the second round.
