Tennis: Carlos Alcaraz has shown no signs of a recent arm injury as he cruises past J.J. Wolf in straight sets during the first round of the French Open.
Naomi Osaka swept to her first victory at the French Open in three years on Sunday, setting up a potential showdown with Iga Swiatek, as Carlos Alcaraz maintained his record of never losing in the first round of a Grand Slam.

Top seed and defending champion Swiatek, chasing a fourth French Open, will face Osaka if the Pole gets past qualifier Leolia Jeanjean on Monday.
