MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

ROLAND GARROS –  Big-time day with Canadians Gabriel Diallo and Denis Shapovalov looking for a third-round spot. To no avail, in the end.

Also: Novak Djokovic vs. crafty (and dramatic) French lefty Corentin Moutet go it, as do Gaël Monfils (Tuesday night’s Le Night Session hero) and Jack Draper.

And it was Richard Gasquet’s finale, as he took on Carlos Alcaraz. Quite a lineup.

(Paris is six hours ahead of EDT).
