–

It’s been a long time since Bianca Andreescu has played the qualifying at Roland Garros – 2018, when she lost in the final round to Richel Hogankemp.

She has made the third round the last two years – last year on a protected ranking.

Also on tap on the Canuckian side: Marina Stakusic and Grand Slam qualifying debutant Carson Branstine. The good news is that they all got through – and in straight sets, too.

And some faces not seen for awhile – notably, Stefanie Voegele.

Voegele, now 35, hadn’t played since the fall of 2022 until she returned about a month ago on a protected ranking. She was a top 50 player back in 2013. She lost in three sets.
