The Spanish Roberto Bautista (66th in the world) opened the Paris-Bercy Masters 1000 sweeping Czech Jiri Lehecka (30th) 6-4 and 6-2 this Monday, on the first day of the Parisian tournament.

In the next round, he will face the winner of Tuesday’s fight between the American Sebastian Korda (24th) and the Polish Hubert Hurkacz (11th), winner of the Shanghai Masters 1000 in mid-October and runner-up at the Basel tournament on Sunday.
