ROLAND GARROS ROUND-UP

STAN WAWRINKA’S knee surgeries of the past year meant it was no great surprise that he lost in five sets to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Wawrinka will now fall in the rankings to outside the top 250. JO KONTA’S first-round defeat is even more frustrating, given the carnage among the seeds in her eighth of the draw. The highest seed left in it is No 26 Barbora Strycova. NOVAK DJOKOVIC said he felt a little bit under the weather but was still good enough to see off Rogerio Dutra Silva 6-3, 6-4, 6-4. THE weather curtailed Rafael Nadal’s march to the second round, but he wasn’t dominating Simone Bolelli. The Spaniard was trailing in the third set when rain halted play at 6-4, 6-3, 0-3. BEATEN former world No 1 Victoria Azarenka stressed that she didn’t receive a protected seeding after coming back after giving birth, a privilege some want for Serena Williams: ‘This conversation was not on the table when I was coming back.’
