Pegula closes out first set
Unseeded home favourite Lois Boisson represented danger as third seed Jessica Pegula got off to a poor start but has since picked up the pace.
The American won four straight games, including two breaks, after falling behind 3-2 on serve while each player had taken a breather.
She takes the opening set 6-3 after breaking the French player to love, and she celebrates in a characteristically modest way.

Zverev on the board
Alexander Zverev finally gets on the baord with a not-so-routine-slash-routine extended service game.
The big German also breaks in the fifth.
Zverev *2-3 Griekspoor

Pegula breaks
It's perfectly placed at three games all, thirty all, following a standard hold for Pegula, to adore.
Boisson attempts a daring drop shot and makes it. Breakpoint.
Yes, that's also a little too casual. The American hammers a soaring, looping forehand with contempt against Pegula's forehand side.
She will attempt to close out the first set after two holds.
Boisson 3-4* Pegula

Griekspoor breaks early
Griekspoor's backhand winner to complete a first-game hold to 15 is stunning, and the tempo is fast right away.
Zverev needs to put in a little more effort, which includes chuntering to his box on his racket grip.
Things worsen. Deuce becomes a break point with a beautiful drop shot. Zverev stops the first, but Griekspoor's inventiveness yields another, which he converts at the net this time.
The Dutchman has a well-defined plan here, and it is now effective.
Early in the opening set, Griekspoor takes a break point on Lenglen and converts it, putting away a volley to lead Zverev 2-0.

Boisson holds
Boisson had a challenging service game. She has to work hard for it, Pegula.
However, the Philippe-Chatrier mob is starting to speak out, and Lois Boisson does hold! Pegula shook her head against her seat.
It appears that this match will be fiercely contested already. But it's early.
Boisson 3-2 Pegula.
Today, 12:12 By Raphael Adelugba
In action
Our second spate of matches are underway.
Lois Boisson takes on seed No.3 Pegula and contender Alex Zverev looks to extend his 7-2 head-to-head record against Tallon Griekspoor 7-2, although the Dutchman pushed him hard in the third round here last year.
Boisson is the player who, if the name seems familiar, was the target of Harriet Dart's offensive remark during a match in Rouen and gracefully managed the consequences.

Test Match Special The team of the year with no fixtures

BBC Cricket reporter Henry Moeran hears how the Scotland Women's cricket team went from being their nations team of the year and their historic first World Cup appearance, to not having a single fixture in their calendar. In December 2024, a month after playing in their first ever World Cup, Scotland's women had just been named their nations sporting team of the year. Six months later, they have no International fixtures and have not played at home since 2022. Henry Moeran is joined by TMS commentator Daniel Norcross to assess what could be done to help Scotland and hears from the Director of Performance at Cricket Scotland, Steve Snell. Snell tells us how the lack of fixtures impacts the team and his message to the governing body. Plus Scotland players Abtaha Maqsood and Sarah Bryce share their concerns of what could happen to Scottish cricket if the situation is not resolved.

What if... the season was about what happens when you concede first?

As the dust settles on the 2024-25 Premier League season, we have been taking a look at some of the alternative ways the the table could have finished..."We never do it the easy way."Something muttered by many a football fan as they watch their side go 1-0 down frustrating as it can be watching from the stands or on the TV, it is a position some teams thrive the opposition into a false sense of security, it is almost as though they do not get going until they have given the other team a if the league was measured on how well a team bounces back after conceding the first goal, then this season would have seen Brighton coming away with a Premier League were 17 occasions in 2024-25 when the Seagulls conceded the first goal, but from those they came back to win five and draw five - rescuing 20 points in the will not have made for comfortable watching for the fans, but it does show the tenacity of Fabian Hurzeler's side to turn a match sign of champions is to win when you are not at your best and that is what Liverpool did this campaign. They may not have have conceded first as often as Brighton, but they still came back to win four times and draw will not have always helped the cause of those chasing European spots, but Newcastle, Fulham and Aston Villa all showed the resilience that they could go one-goal down and still get much-needed points from a the other end of the scale, while some teams thrive in this situation, others Forest surprised many onlookers going from relegation candidates to battling for a Champions League spot in less than 12 key to that was their defence. There were not many occasions where they went 1-0 down - however, when they did, their ability to turn it around was in relegation silver-lining for Reds fans, though, is that they really did make it difficult for the opposition to get in front and this is a strength they will hope to build on going forwards.

Brooklyn Beckham admits he's inherited his parents' love of matching outfits and reveals Nicola Peltz wears platform heels to BED as he gushes over 'cool' wife amid family feud

He's said to be distancing himself from his famous parents amid a family feud. Yet Brooklyn Beckham revealed he still takes style inspiration from David and Victoria as he discussed his fashion sense with Glamour Germany. The aspiring chef, 26, was joined by wife Nicola Peltz, 32, for the chat, when talked to fashion. Billionaire heiress Nicola mused: 'I feel like we are major outfit repeaters,' as Brooklyn confessed: 'We like to match though. I love to match with her.' Brooklyn's love of coordinated looks was no doubt inherited from his parents, who famously used to wear matching outfits back in heydey of their relationship in the late 90s and early 2000s. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. However, he failed to mention his parents during the discussion, instead gushing over his wife's sense of style. He mused: 'When I first met her. I thought she had really cool style... She always wears platforms, even walking to bed. And I love that.' Brooklyn's comments about fashion come amid a time of tension amid the once tight-knit Beckham family. David, 50, and wife Victoria, 51, have become estranged from eldest child Brooklyn, while his heiress wife has been blamed for the rift. In the magazine interview with Glamour Germany, conducted in April, the couple opened up about outside interference in their marriage and hinted at worsening relations with the Beckham clan. Brooklyn appeared to be deliberately omitting mention of his family, and they instead focused on the advice they'd received from Nicola's billionaire parents, Nelson and Claudia Peltz. Amid mounting tension, he shared a different meaning behind the name of his hot sauce, Cloud 23. The aspiring chef's representative told last week how the number 23 was a 'warm nod' to David, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan, in a touching move that appeared to be an olive branch to his father. However, in the new interview, Brooklyn failed to mention his father, simply stating: 'The 23 stands for our engagement date and my age back then.' Elsewhere in the interview, he and Nicola also seemed to hint at interference in their relationship and the ongoing reports of the family feud. When asked how they 'protect' their relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn stated: 'Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we're happy together.' While Brooklyn was present at the Victoria's 50th, both he and his wife failed to make an appearance at her 51st. And while his younger brothers Romeo and Cruz took to social media to pay their birthday tributes to their parents, on both occasions Brooklyn stayed silent. Brooklyn appeared to nail his loyalties to the mast when he posted an image on Instagram of himself and Nicola riding a motorbike, writing: 'My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby.'
