Pico dominated with 9 break points and 16 winners, leaving his opponent with 44 unforced errors. The final score was 6-3 6-1 6-4. Coco Vandeweghe (EZONE Ai 98) also won in the first round against Iveta Melzer, the score 7-6(6) 6-2.
Juan is off to a good start, with the help of his VCORE Xi 98, which he refers to fondly for its power potential. Ana and Coco’s EZONE Ai 98 has also received high praise, with its unique frame design that reduces resistance and produces super-fast swings, while maintaining the consistent power players need to win on the court. These racquets and their players are making great first steps forward in this year’s Roland Garros.
