Corentin Moutet didn't have an easy draw, facing Alexei Popyrin. Undaunted by the hostile crowd, the Frenchman won 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
Popyrin was physically diminished, but didn't want to give up.
He was expected to play the first Grand Slam of the year, in his home country, with a new status: that of top seed.
In the second round, Moutet will face Mitchell Krueger, who won earlier in the day against Rinky Hijikata.
