Canada's Diallo, Shapovalov eliminated in 2nd round of French Open




Canadians Gabriel Diallo and Denis Shapovalov are out of the French Open after second-round losses Thursday.

Montreal's Diallo lost 7-5, 7-6 (3), 1-6, 6-3 to Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands, while 27th seed Shapovalov fell 7-6 (5), 7-6 (6), 4-6, 4-6, 6-3 to Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic.

The losses leave qualifier Victoria Mboko as the lone Canadian remaining in the singles draws. The Toronto teen faces Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen of China in a third-round match Friday.

Diallo came back from 4-1 down in the second set and nearly broke to go up 5-4, but Griekspoor held with back-to-back aces, then pulled away in the tiebreak. Diallo took the third set, but the 35th-ranked Dutchman broke early in the fourth and served out the match to love.

The 23-year-old Diallo, ranked No. 54, earned his first-ever French Open main-draw win by upsetting No. 18 Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina in straight sets in the opening round.

Shapovalov rallied from two sets down to force a fifth, but Misolic broke early and held off a late push. The Canadian had a double-break point in the ninth game, but double-faulted on his first chance before losing the game — and the match.

In women's doubles action, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., and partner Yulia Putintseva of Kazakhstan cruised to a 6-0, 6-2 win over Romania's Monica Niculescu and Poland's Katarzyna Piter.

Fernandez and Putintseva face 12th seeds Tereza Mihalikova of Slovakia and Olivia Nicholls of Britain in the second round Friday.
