PARIS – Ottawa’s Gabriela Dabrowski and Brazilian partner Luisa Stefani won their opening match in women’s doubles at the French Open on Wednesday.
The fourth-seeded duo defeated Dutch-British team Ingrid Haverlag and Maia Lumsden 6-2, 6-0 in the round of 64.
Dabrowski and Stefani converted six of nine break-point chances and had two aces.
Their next match will be against Russia’s Elena Pridankina and China’s Qianhui Tang.
Also Wednesday, Leylah Fernandez, Laval, Que., and Russian partner Diana Shnaider dropped a 6-3, 6-1 decision to the Russian pair of Oksana Selekhmeteva and Anastasia Zakharova.
Fernandez and Shnaider were originally scheduled to face Victoria Mboko of Burlington, Ont., and Alexandra Eala of the Philippines before Mboko and Eala pulled out of the doubles draw. Mboko faces Katerina Siniakova in the second round of women’s singles Thursday.
