Milos Raonic breezes into 3rd round of French Open
Canadian wins in straight sets, again
Milos Raonic has cruised into the third round of the French Open with a 6-1, 7-6 (0), 6-1 win over Adrian Mannarino.
Raonic fired seven aces past his French opponent and converted on four of his seven break-point opportunities.
The hard-serving Canadian did commit 17 unforced errors, but he was in form compared to the unsteady Mannarino, who had 30.
Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., has yet to drop a set at Roland Garros. He defeated Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (5) in the first round.
The eighth-seeded Raonic will face Slovakia's Andrej Martin in the third round.
Canadians advance in doubles
In men's doubles, Canadian Daniel Nestor and his Pakistani teammate Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi won their opening-round match 7-6 (5), 6-2 over Inigo Cervantes and Paolo Lorenzi. Nestor and Qureshi are seeded 14th.
In women's doubles, Canada's Gabriela Dabrowski and her Spanish teammate Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez defeated Daria Gavrilova and Elina Svitolina 7-6 (6), 7-6 (2) in the first round.
Canada's Eugenie Bouchard will play her second-round women's match against Switzerland's Timea Bacsinszky on Thursday.
Murray dodges upset, again
Earlier, Andy Murray rallied past French wild-card entry Mathias Bourgue to reach the third round, winning 6-2, 2-6, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
The second-seeded Murray made the most of Bourgue's drop of energy to claw his way back into the match and set up a contest with big-serving Ivo Karlovic in the next round.
After playing superb tennis to lead 2-1 in sets on Court Philippe Chatrier, the 22-year-old Bourgue ran out of gas while Murray limited his mistakes to 10 unforced errors in the last two sets.
Wawrinka good enough
After needing to come back and win in five sets to barely avoid becoming the first defending champion in tournament history to lose in the first round, Stan Wawrinka moved into the third with a 7-6 (7), 6-3, 6-4 victory over 93rd-ranked Taro Daniel of Japan.
In the tiebreaker, the third-seeded Wawrinka found himself facing two set points while trailing 6-4. But he erased both of those and eventually pulled out the set, then quickly went up a break in the second and was on his way.
Wawrinka said his play against Daniel had "many ups and downs," but that he's "ready to step it up."
Wawrinka compiled a 62-21 advantage in winners and will now face No. 30 Jeremy Chardy of France for a spot in the round of 16.
Talented teen gets 1st win
Teenager Alexander Zverev has completed his first career win in the main draw of the French Open.
The 19-year-old German, who is regarded as one of the most talented youngsters on the circuit, advanced to the second round of the clay-court Grand Slam with a 5-7, 6-2, 7-6 (6), 7-5 win over Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Their match was suspended at the start of the fourth set on Tuesday because of darkness.
The 41st-ranked Zverev is playing for the second time at the Roland Garros after losing in the qualifying stages last year. He will be up against another Frenchman, Stephane Robert, in the second round.
Radwanska capitalizes
On the women's side, Agnieszka Radwanska made the most of Caroline Garcia's struggles with her serve to reach the third round.
The second-seeded Polish player had 13 break chances on Court Suzanne Lenglen and converted six in 6-2, 6-4 victory.
Garcia cheered herself up and encouraged the crowd to support her after breaking back in the seventh game of the second set. But the Frenchwoman dropped her next service game at love.
Radwanska, whose best result at Roland Garros is a quarter-final spot three years ago, failed to serve out the match in the next game as Garcia saved a match point and then hit a forehand down the line for the break.
Garcia did not surrender without a fight, saving one more match point before bowing out.
Elsewhere, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, 2009 French Open winner Svetlana Kuznetsova, 2014 finalist Simona Halep and fourth-seeded Garbine Muguruza all advanced to the third round.
The 10th-seeded Kvitova beat Hsieh Su-Wei 6-4, 6-1. Kvitova, who reached the semifinals at Roland Garros in 2012, looked more comfortable than in her first-round match.
Kvitova says "I'm feeling good. I'm healthy, and that's important."
The sixth-seeded Halep had to rally from 4-1 down in the first set to beat Zarina Diyas 7-6 (5), 6-2, while Kuznetsova defeated Heather Watson 6-1, 6-3. Muguruza beat wild-card entry Myrtille Georges 6-2, 6-0.
