ROLAND GARROS – On the positive side, both Canadian women in action Sunday had a great court.
On the negative side, only one of them made it through as Leylah Fernandez survived a second-set charge by Kristina Mladenovic to win in straights.
Rebecca Marino had a great first set against No. 18 seed Coco Gauff. But in the end the 18-year-old American got on a roll and took care of business.
