Susan Bandicci (WTA 190), Joan Zuger (WTA 217) and Simona Walter (WTA 212) qualified for the women’s main board at Roland Garros in the second round.

The 23-year-old Bandecchi easily defeated Australian Ellen Perez (WTA 222) 6:4, 6:2. Likewise, Züger only needed two sets to beat American Asia Muhammad (WTA 147) 7:5, 6:3.

Walter had to make up for the group’s deficit against Hannah Chang (WTA 269) of the US and won 6:7 (4:7), 6:1, 6:4 over two hours later. Elena En Albon (ATP 119) failed in the first qualifying round. The 23-year-old lost to Britain’s Yoriko Miyazaki (WTA 242) 3:6, 3:6.

Ritschard turns the game

For the men, the only Swiss had to fight like Walter: Zurich’s Alexander Richard (ATP 204), despite a poor start, beat Frenchman Laurent Locoli (ATP 279) 2:6, 6:4, 6:4.
