–
ROLAND GARROS – The second week of Roland Garros begins with all of the Canadians gone by Friday, and Cana-Kiwi Erin Routliffe out in mixed doubles early Saturday.
But that doesn’t mean life doesn’t go on.
And, in fact, the grass season starts.
And Keegan Rice, who has been just a summer ITF player the last two years as he’s focusing on college tennis with the Virginia Cavaliers, was playing his first ITF since last July.
There was but one Canadian junior in the main draws, which take place this week. So that continues another dry spell from the Canadian kids.
