Denis Shapovalov gave Pedro Martínez no chance in his debut at Roland Garros (6-2, 6-0, 6-3), and the Canadian displayed a high level of tennis that he hadn't shown on clay in a long time. In the press conference after the match, he confessed his love for this tournament: "There are some remote places where I enjoy playing, and Roland Garros is one of the tournaments that I enjoy. Without a doubt, as I've said, these balls are better. I can hit through the court. Today, I felt like I didn't have to push too hard. I feel that the ball makes a big difference at this moment," said the world number 31.
