PARIS —
Montreal’s Felix Auger-Aliassime scored a straight-set 6-0, 6-3 and 6-4 victory over Camilo Ugo Carabelli of Argentina to move on to the third round of the French Open on Wednesday.

Auger-Aliassime, seeded ninth in the major tennis tournament, fired eight aces and converted on five of 10 break points in a dominating display on the clay at Roland Garros.

It’s the first time in the 21-year-old Canadian’s career that he has advanced past the second round in Paris.

Auger-Aliassime’s next match is Thursday against either Serbia’s Filip Krajinovic or Croatia’s Borna Gojo.

Two other Canadians were also scheduled to see action Wednesday at the French Open.
