Reigning champion Novak Djokovic, and former winners Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek, reached the second round of the 2022 French Open with commanding victories on Monday.

Meanwhile, reigning women's champion Barbora Krejcikova and four-time Major winner Naomi Osaka suffered early exits from the tournament. On that note, here's a look at some of the major results on Day 2:

Rafael Nadal secures 299th Grand Slam win

Record 13-time champion Rafael Nadal demolished Jordan Thompson, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the second round and pick up his 299th Grand Slam victory at the French Open.

He moved just one victory away from joining Big 3 rivals Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic in the 300-wins club as he improved to a staggering 106-3 at the claycourt Major.

Nadal quashed doubts about his form and fitness as he struck 27 winners, 20 off his forehand, and won 12 points at the net en route to setting up a second-round battle with French wildcard Corentin Moutet.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic cruises to second round

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic kickstarted his title defense with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-0 win against Yoshihito Nishioka.

Djokovic surrendered just four games, marking the fewest that the Serb has lost in a completed first-round match at the French Open since dropping three in his first ever match in 2005 (def. Ginepri 6-0, 6-0, 6-3).

The World No. 1 slammed nine aces and won 70 percent of his first-serve points. He also won eight of the 18 break points he posted against the Japanese and got broken only once. He struck 35 winners against 32 unforced errors.

Iga Swiatek notches up 29th consecutive win

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek stretched her unbeaten streak to 29 as she demolished Lesia Tsurenko 6-2, 6-0 in the first round of the French Open.

The 2020 French Open champion served up her 14th bagel of the season and finished the match in less than an hour.

Barbora Krejcikova dethroned in 1st round

Out of action for nearly three months after suffering a right elbow injury, defending champion Barbora Krejcikova was stunned by 19-year-old Diane Parry 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the first round of the French Open.

The World No. 2 looked poised for a comfortable victory after clinching the first set 6-1, but stumbled against World No. 97 Parry as the match progressed. The French player became the lowest-ranked woman to beat the second seed at the French Open since 2011, when World No. 114 Arantxa Rus stunned Kim Clijsters.

Naomi Osaka suffers first-round loss against Amanda Anisimova

Four-time Major champion Naomi Osaka was the first big name to fall on the second day of the French Open, as she bowed out to 2019 semifinalist Amanda Anisimova.

In a rematch of their third-round meeting in Melbourne, the American pulled off a stunning 7-5, 6-4 win on Court Suzanne-Lenglen to advance to the second round.

The former World No. 1, now ranked 38 and unseeded in this year's edition of the tournament, served eight double faults, many of which were at crucial points in the match.
