Canada’s hopes of a French Open title are over.

Teenager Victoria Mboko fell 6-3, 6-4 to reigning Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng of China in the third round on Friday at Roland-Garros, making her the last of five Canadians to be eliminated in singles.

Mboko, 18, had previously won 10 consecutive sets at the second Grand Slam of the season, including three qualifying matches.

But the eighth-seeded Zheng proved too much to overcome for the Canadian in her major debut.

Afterward, Zheng was full of praise for the Canadian.

“For sure she will be one of the best players in the future,” she told reporters, per the WTA Tour. “I’m 100 per cent sure because she already got the strength, the game. There is nothing more I can say. I’m just really happy to win such a great player like her. She’s really young. She has big potential … She hits the ball really hard, and then she had a great serve. She had huge power. She moves on the court really well.

Mboko, of Toronto, failed to record an ace while double-faulting three times. Meanwhile, Zheng took advantage of all four break-point opportunities she had, while Mboko converted on just two of eight.

Zheng, who won Olympic gold at Roland-Garros, will next face 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova of Russia.

Still, Mboko outlasted all four of her fellow Canadians. Felix Auger-Aliassime and Leylah Fernandez fell in the first round, while Denis Shapovalov and Gabriel Diallo were eliminated in the second round.

Mboko currently is projected to rise to No. 89 in the world rankings, up 31 spots from before the French Open. That likely will be enough to get her into the main draw at Wimbledon next month.

Later Friday, Leylah Fernandez of Laval, Que., and Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva fell 6-4, 0-6, 6-4 to Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalíková and Great Britain’s Olivia Nicholls. 

Fernandez and Putintseva converted six of nine break chances but managed to save just one of six against them in the second-round women’s doubles match.

Montreal’s Gabriel Diallo and Great Britain’s Jacob Fearnley lost in second-round men’s doubles action.

The pair fell 6-2, 6-3 to second-seeded Henry Patten of Great Britain and Harri Heliovaara of Finland.

Patten and Heliovaara committed just six unforced errors to Diallo and Fearnley’s 16, converted four of six break-point chances and saved both of their opponents’.
