Roland-Garros: Fils knocks out Jarry to earn first win at home Grand Slam

Frenchman Arthur Fils, the No 14 seed, defeated Chilean Nicolas Jarry 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 to reach the second round of Roland-Garros.

Fils is the fifth-youngest Frenchman to have won a match at all four Grand Slam tournaments, and the youngest since Richard Gasquet back in 2007.

Speaking after his win, Fils said he was happy to get his first win at his home Grand Slam, after losing his opening round the previous two occasions.

“Feel very good. Like I said before, I lost twice first round here. So to win it here today, it’s kind of a feeling of relief. It was a tough match today. I could have won it in three sets. Did some mistake. He played great. I had to go to a fourth set. But happy with the way I deal with the crowd, with the energy of my level,” the Frenchman said.

Fils, ranked No 14, will face Spaniard Jaume Munar next.
