It was not the expected or dream debut for Dani Mérida at a Grand Slam. The Spaniard, making his debut at Roland Garros against Ben Shelton, lacked experience and could not show his best version. Nerves got the best of the Madrid native, and the good performance of the American quickly tipped the scale. The world number five convincingly won 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 in an hour and 42 minutes. This concludes a clay court tour for Mérida that he will never forget, from his final in Bucharest to his first match in a 'Major,' and entering the Top 100.

A backpack full of learnings, @Mridatenis1 👏
