World number one Carlos Alcaraz started his campaign for a second Grand Slam title with an emphatic victory over Italian qualifier Flavio Cobolli in the first round of the French Open. The Spaniard showcased his formidable skills and dispatched Cobolli 6-0, 6-2, 7-5 in a commanding fashion.
At just 20 years old, Alcaraz has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the tennis circuit. He is considered one of the frontrunners to inherit the legacy of his compatriot, the 14-time Roland Garros champion Rafa Nadal, who is absent from this year's tournament due to a hip injury.
