Andreescu earns 3-set victory to advance to 2nd round at French Open

Canadian Bianca Andreescu scored a three-set victory over Ysaline Bonaventure of Belgium in the first round of the French Open on Monday in Paris, France.

Andreescu dropped the opening set 6-3, before bouncing back to winning next two sets 7-5 and 6-0.

The former world No. 4 is looking to build on her successful clay court season following a months-long absence to recuperate physically and mentally from a tough 2021 season.

Leylah Fernandez and Felix Auger-Aliassime, both of Montreal, will be back on the clay on Wednesday following first round wins on Sunday. Fernandez, the tournament's 17th seed, will play Czech Katerina Siniakova, while Auger-Aliassime, seeded ninth on the men's side, meets Argentine qualifier Camilo Ugo Carabelli.

Denis Shapovalov, of Richmond Hill, Ont., will play his opening-round match on Tuesday against Denmark's Holger Rune.

Naomi Osaka says she is "leaning more towards not playing" at Wimbledon again because the WTA and ATP have said they will not award ranking points this year after the All England Club banned players from Russia and Belarus because of the invasion of Ukraine.

After losing in the first round at Roland Garros on Monday, Osaka said the tennis tours' move to withhold ranking points from Wimbledon "is kind of affecting my mentality" and she is "not 100 per cent sure if I'm going to go there."

She said she is "the type of player that gets motivated by seeing my ranking go up," but added that she needs to think about the issue more before making a final decision and could change her mind.

Osaka's return to the French Open ended in the first round Monday.

The former top-ranked player lost her opening match to Amanda Anisimova 7-5,
