Bianca Andreescu made a successful debut at the French Open on Monday.
The Canadian and 72nd player in the world got the better of Belgium’s Ysaline Bonaventure, a player from qualifying in three sets of 3-6, 7-5 and 6-0. Andreescu was leading 3-0 in the third set when the game was interrupted by rain.
In the next round, Andreescu has an appointment with the Swiss Belinda Bencic, 14th in the world.

In her last appearance at Roland-Garros last year, the Canadian lost in the first round. In the event of a victory once morest Bencic, Andreescu might face his compatriot Leylah Fernandez (18th) in the third round, provided that it wins Wednesday once morest the Czech Katerina Siniakova (56th).
No other Canadian player has a game scheduled for Monday. Denis Shapovalov will make his debut on Tuesday once morest Denmark’s Holger Rune. Félix Auger-Aliassime will play for a place in the third round on Wednesday, when he faces Argentinian Camilo Ugo Carabelli.
