Follow all the action at Roland-Garros with our multiplex environment.
Bianca Andreescu made a successful debut at the French Open on Monday.
The Canadian and 72nd player in the world got the better of Belgium’s Ysaline Bonaventure, a player from qualifying in three sets of 3-6, 7-5 and 6-0. Andreescu was leading 3-0 in the third set when the game was interrupted by rain.
In the next round, Andreescu has an appointment with the Swiss Belinda Bencic, 14th in the world.
Now 21, Andreescu is returning to action on a more regular basis on the tour with the clay-court season. After being sidelined with injuries, she made the quarter-finals in Rome earlier in May.
In her last appearance at Roland-Garros last year, the Canadian lost in the first round. In the event of a victory against Bencic, Andreescu could face his compatriot Leylah Fernandez (18th) in the third round, provided that it wins Wednesday against the Czech Katerina Siniakova (56th).
No other Canadian player has a game scheduled for Monday. Denis Shapovalov will make his debut on Tuesday against Denmark’s Holger Rune. Félix Auger-Aliassime will play for a place in the third round on Wednesday, when he faces Argentinian Camilo Ugo Carabelli.
