SHAPOVALOV 6-2 7-5 5-7 6-3 SIMON
Shapovalov is through in four sets. A good win for the Canadian against a tricky opponent. He's never made it past the second round at Roland Garros and faces Roberto Carballes Baena next.

SHAPOVALOV 6-2 7-5 5-7 0-0* SIMON
The battle continues… After trading breaks early in the set it appeared to be heading for a tie-break, but in the 12th game Simon breaks Shapo and takes the third set. Comeback on?

SHAPOVALOV 6-2 7-5 0-0* SIMON
Wow. Huge, huge, huge resolve from Shapo, who battles back from 5-2 down to take the set 7-5!
Simon had FIVE set points when 5-3 up but from 40-0 he was broken… Shapo takes five games in a row in a set where seven of the 12 games had breaks or opportunities at the very least.
