Paul acknowledged Monday’s strong serve and fighting spirit.

World number one Jannik Sinner began his campaign with a victory over fellow Italian Luca Nardi. Defending women’s champion Barbora Krejcikova is yet to play.

Other notable action saw Jessica Pegula, the world number three, become the highest-ranked player to exit the tournament so far. Alex de Minaur has taken a firm lead over Roberto Carballes Baena on Court 18.
