–
Canadian Liam Draxl isn’t long out of college. But he’s already risen high enough to not only get into Roland Garros qualifying – but to be seeded, too.
He has a decent draw as well, with No. 2 seed Alexander Shevchenko in his way – and Shevchenko struggling for ANY kind of consistency the last year or so.
Also – Marin Cilic v Wu Yibing is … quite a first-round qualifying match.
And will this be the final Roland Garros for Adrian Mannarino? It’s not going well. And you’d have to be obsessively in love with tennis to have reached the heights, and be satisfied with playing Challengers and qualifying.
(Paris is six hours ahead of EDT).
