MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ROLAND GARROS –  Plenty of Canadian content around the doubles court Friday.

Gabriela Dabrowski had a double header in women’s and mixed – and came back in both to win.

Leylah Fernandez returned for her second round with Taylor Townsend, and that was an easy one.

And Bianca Andreescu, who got into the mixed as an alternate team with Michael Venus of New Zealand (great idea!) looked down and out after the first set v Melichar-Martinez and Krawietz. And yet somehow, they pulled it out.
