French Open 2023: Jessica Pegula advances to second round after breezing past compatriot Danielle Collins

Jessica Pegula advanced to the second round of the French Open after breezing past American compatriot Danielle Collins 6-4 6-2.

Pegula kept herself in the ascendancy for the majority of a keenly fought encounter and did what was required to progress and book a second-round tie with Camila Giorgi.

Pegula spoke afterwards and – given her and Collins were last on court on Sunday – revealed the pre-match preparations that kept her fresh during the day.
