PARIS — Four Canadians advanced into the third round of the French Open with wins on Thursday.
Bianca Andreescu made it a clean sweep on the day for Canadians when she battled back from a rough first set to beat 23rd seed Anna Kalinskaya of Russia 1-6, 7-5, 6-3.
Shapovalov, from Richmond Hill, Ont., rallied past No. 25 seed Frances Tiafoe of the United States 6-7 , 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. She responded in the second set, showing some finesse by converting six net points and clinching the set with a break in the final game. The Canadian will next face eighth seed Hubert Hurkacz of Poland. Hurkacz is 4-1 in his career against Shapovalov, with all five matches contested on hard court.
