Roland Garros. We've got all the qualifiers for the main draw

The most renowned tennis player, who played his qualifying match on Friday, was undoubtedly Marin Cilic. The 2014 US Open champion faced Lloyd Harris. The South African, who had won only one match this season before coming to Paris, surprised once again this week. He defeated the Croatian in a three-set match and will play Andrey Rublev in the first round of the main draw.

The defeat by the Afrikaner did not prove to be very painful for Cilic, as he will also have the opportunity to continue playing in the Paris tournament. He became one of the "lucky losers" and in a few days he will face Flavio Cobolli. A similar situation befell the second-seeded Alexander Shevchenko. The Kazakh lost in two sets to the Austrian Filip Misolic, but both of these tennis players will continue their adventure in this year's tournament.

During Friday's games, French fans had the opportunity to cheer on five of their representatives. Two of them could be in good spirits after the matches ended. Interestingly, they will be debutants in the main draw of the competition. Ugo Blanchet advanced after defeating Lukas Klein, while Clement Tabur dealt with Filip Cristian Jianu.

After a nearly three-hour battle, Luca Van Assche had to swallow the bitterness of defeat. The 21-year-old turned out to be slightly worse than Henrique Rocha, who won 7:5 in the decisive set. The Portuguese will face another qualifier, Nikoloz Basilashvili, in the main phase. The Georgian, who played in the challenger final in Bordeaux a few days ago, eliminated Geoffrey Blancaneaux in two sets. Titouan Droguet lost his match with Yannick Hanfmann after three sets.

Giulio Zeppieri confirmed his great effectiveness in the Parisian qualifications. The Italian had no trouble winning over Federico Agustin Gomez and reached the main tournament for the fourth time in a row this way. There, he will face a huge challenge, because after Kei Nishikori withdrew, he took his place in the bracket and will have to play with the defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. In addition, among the Friday winners were Juan Manuel Cerundolo, Maximilian Marterer and Benjamin Hassan.
