We’re into the second round at the 2016 French Open, and most of the top seeds escaped the opening round, though not without issue. Angelique Kerber, the No. 3 seed for the woman, was the highest-profile player to get bounced in the opening round. Stan Wawrinka, the defending champion and No. 3 seed, was pushed to five sets in his match against Lukas Rosol but came out with a win. Andy Murray also needed five sets to beat his competition, Radek Stepanek.

Murray finished off Stepanek on Tuesday, but he’ll go again on Wednesday since his match was originally postponed. He’ll be up against Mathias Bourgue in the second round. His match will be featured on Philippe-Chatrier Court, before Simona Halep, the sixth seed, squares off against Zarina Diyas. No. 4 Garbine Muguruza will take on Myrtille Georges shortly after that.
Milos Raonic, the men’s eighth seed, will take on Adrian Mannarino to close out that court. The secondary-but-still-featured Suzanne-Lenglen Court will see No. 10 Petra Kvitova take on Su-Wei Hsieh, No. 9 Richard Gasquet facing Bjorn Fratangelo and women’s No. 2 seed Agnieszka Radwanska against Caroline Garcia. It will also feature Wawrinka’s second matchup, so it will be interesting to see if he looks winded against Taro Daniel of Japan.
Television coverage of the day begins at 5 a.m. ET on the Tennis Channel. Their coverage will run through 3 p.m. Online streaming is available at NBC Sports Live Extra and the Tennis Channel.
