Bianca Andreescu defeated 17-year-old Daphnee Mpetshi-Perricard 6-3, 6-2 in French Open qualifying on May 19. The Canadian then offered comfort to her emotional opponent after the match.
Andreescu advanced to the second round of qualifying at Roland Garros after her straight-sets victory on Court Suzanne-Lenglen in Paris. The 2019 US Open champion broke serve early to take control and closed out the match under pressure from the young French wildcard, who entered ranked No. 811 in the world and is the sister of ATP player Giovanni Mpetshi-Perricard.
