While a number of big names took to the court on day two of the French Open, it was world No 190 Marco Trungelliti who stole the headlines.

The lucky loser’s nine-hour road trip from Barcelona with his 88-year-old grandma in tow caught the imagination of everyone at Roland Garros, and got the Hollywood finale it deserved as he defeated Bernard Tomic to reach the second round. Tennis Podcast presenters Catherine Whitaker and David Law delight in the sheer romance of the story.

It was also a successful day from a British perspective as Cameron Norrie and Heather Watson won convincingly. Both players are talking with real confidence. How might they fare in the next round?

Elsewhere, there were wins for Petra Kvitova, Caroline Wozniacki, Dominic Thiem and Novak Djokovic. Who impressed most?

There was no such luck for last year’s runner-up, Stan Wawrinka. His ranking will drop alarmingly after a first-round loss to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. Is there a crumb of comfort to be found in the way Stan is speaking optimistically about his health?

Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal was delayed by the rain and an inspired performance from Simone Bolelli. How much of a role did the heavy conditions play and is the 0-3 scoreline in set three a cause for concern?
