Simona Halep survives early scare while Petra Kvitova just keeps winning

World number one Simona Halep survived an early scare to overcome Alison Riske in the first round at Roland Garros.
The Romanian lost the first set in meek fashion, but she gathered herself to power back and claim an ultimately dominant 2-6 6-1 6-1 win.
Elsewhere, eighth seed Petra Kvitova is safely into the third round after a comfortable 6-0 6-4 win over Spaniard Lara Arrubarrena.
