Canada's Denis Shapovalov advances to third round of French Open, Alcaraz awaits

Canada's Denis Shapovlaov has advanced to the third round at the French Open for the first time with a 6-2, 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Italy's Matteo Arnaldi.

"It's going to be a challenge," Shapovalov said of his upcoming match. "It's going to be a tough battle."Obviously a great player everywhere, but especially on clay courts. Three out of five is not going to be easy against him but I'm looking forward to it."

Shapovalov wrapped up Wednesday's win over Arnaldi with his fifth break of the match. He set up match point with a powerful service return down the middle that Arnaldi couldn't handle cleanly, then won when the Italian hit the ball well out of bounds for his 41st unforced error. Shapovalov lost serve just once on the only break point he faced Wednesday while scoring five breaks on 16 chances in a match that lasted two hours 55 minutes.
