ANALYSIS
The 37-year-old picked up just his third win of the season and first on grass, beating the No. 38-ranked youngster Tiafoe. Mahut served up nine aces in the match, and won 10 of his 11 service games. In the second round, the Frenchman will likely face a stiff test against No. 7 ranked Stan Wawrinka or Daniel Evans.
