–
ROLAND GARROS – A few carryovers from the first week of Roland Garros – mostly on the doubles and mixed side.
And the junior event begins, with only one Canadian kid (squeezing into the last spot in the main draw after a withdrawal), and two in the qualifying who were eliminated on the first round.
Thin soup, indeed.
But there are no shortage of players. And two Canadians made Grand Slam finals, even if they couldn’t take that final step.
