Another Canadian is entering the second round at the French Open.
Montreal’s Gabriel Diallo defeated No. 18 seed Francisco Cerundolo on Monday with a blunt 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 in the first round of Roland-Garros on Monday.
Diallo joins 18-year-old Victoria Mboko, who won the opener on Sunday and moved in his second Grand Slam of the season.
The victory marked Diallo’s first in the Clay-Court Grand Slam. He reached the second round in the Australian Open in January and the third round of the U.S. Open last year.
Diallo will face the winner of a match between Marcos Giron of the United States and Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands in the second round.
