ROLAND GARROS –  Two Canadians, disappointed in singles, looked at what they can do in the doubles event.

Rebecca Marino was teaming up with Zhu Lin, a Chinese player who has been a thorn in her side in singles – gotta love it. They came close against a very good team, but no cigar.

And Leylah Fernandez, so disappointed last night after her loss in singles, will go after the doubles title with Taylor Townsend. They pulled off another of their comebacks from being way down in the second set to take it in two, and move on.
