–

ROLAND GARROS – Denis Shapovalov. Gaël Monfils, Ben Shelton, Alexander Bublik.

Some players with a lot of pizazz were to the courts in Geneva and Lyon on Tuesday.

For Shapovalov, who took a late wild card, it was an opportunity to get a little more time on the clay. And he got through.

He lost in the first round in Houston, Bucharest and Rome (in a third-set tiebreak). And did have a good week in Madrid – which is the quickest of them all in terms of the speed of the court.

For Monfils, it was a withdrawal. For Shelton, it was snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
