PARIS: Dutch fourth seed Kiki Bertens eased into the second round at Roland Garros on Monday with a 6-3, 6-4 win over home player Pauline Parmentier.
Bertens, a French Open semi-finalist in 2016, was one of the form players heading into the tournament after winning the Madrid Open earlier this month.
The 27-year-old will face Slovakia’s Viktoria Kuzmova in round two.
