    Tennis ace Erin Routliffe is adjusting to life as an Olympian ahead of her first round women's doubles match with compatriot Lulu Sun overnight


    The duo will take on the third-seeded Italian pair of Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini on the French clay courts.

    Routliffe has already noticed there's more room to roam around at Roland Garros, in comparison to being on tour.



    They're sixth on court nine, expected to start at 2.15am.

    Sun is third on court eight in the singles, expected to start at 12.30am.
