PARIS (Reuters) - Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen eased past 2021 finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-4 6-3 in the French Open first round on Sunday to stretch her winning run on the Parisian clay to seven matches.

The Chinese has fond memories of the Philippe Chatrier court having won the women's singles gold medal on the same court at last year's Paris Games.
