Paris: American Coco Gauff dispatched Australia's Olivia Gadecki in straight sets to get her French Open campaign off to a confident start on Tuesday.
Second seed Gauff, a former French Open finalist, won 6-2, 6-2 in one hour and 11 minutes against 91st-ranked Gadecki.
The 21-year-old Gauff next meets either French wildcard Chloe Paquet or Czech qualifier Tereza Valentova in the second round.
"It was really windy. I knew it wasn't going to be a clean match with the wind but overall I'm really happy with the way I played," said Gauff who hit seven double faults.
"It was two different matches depending on what side of the court you are on."
