Overview
- Tallon Griekspoor held off Gabriel Diallo’s comeback to win 7-5, 7-6(3), 1-6, 6-3 in their second-round match in Paris.
- Diallo rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the second set and even dominated the third before Griekspoor broke early in the fourth and served out the match to love.
- The 35th-ranked Griekspoor fended off break points with back-to-back aces to claim the second-set tiebreak.
- Diallo, ranked 54th and fresh off a straight-sets upset of No. 18 seed Francisco Cerundolo in the first round, exits his first clay-court major win.
- Denis Shapovalov remains the only Canadian in the men’s draw and will meet Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic later Thursday.
