Roger Federer makes winning return to French Open as he beats Lorenzo Sonego in straight sets

Daily Mail  

Roger Federer is happy. Roger Federer celebrates after winning his first round match against Italy's Lorenzo Sonego ‘I like that approach for me also once in a while. It was a really good performance from my side for not having played here for as long as I did.’ For the first time since 2015 the Roger Federer show was back in town, and if the Swiss is pleased to be back in Paris, Paris is ecstatic to have him back. But Sonego was not going to be allowed to ruin Federer’s Parisian homecoming, his return to the place where he made his Grand Slam debut 20 years ago and his return after three years in which he did not trust his body to put up with the rigours of clay court tennis. Federer broke in the first game of the second set with one of his many trademark shots: the drop shot return of serve, a knifing backhand imbued with vicious backspin.
