PARIS – The second day of the qualifying at Roland Garros brings the end of the first round.

And with it, the only two Canadian women in the draw.

Katherine Sebov, who qualified at the Australian Open in January, played young Croat Petra Marcinko but went out in three

And Carol Zhao met Poland’s Katarzyna Kawa and won in three.

Other interesting matches: the return of Poland’s Polona Hercog after a year away against Harmony Tan – whose face was everywhere last summer at Wimbledon when she defeated Serena Williams. Hercog went three hours and won it in a match tiebreak.

And in a matchup of players who were once top-20, Yanina Wickmayer meets Ana Konjuh. Both are unseeded. Wickmayer was the easy winner.
