Day two: Boulter reaches second round; Samuel's impressive run comes to an end
Katie Boulter had to overcome a testing opening round clash agains wild card Akasha Urhobo to reach the second round.
The British No.3 edged a tight contest 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to record her second win at Roland Garros.
Meanwhile, qualifier Toby Samuel's dream run at Roland Garros ended in a first round defeat to eighth seed Alex De Minaur on the second day of action in Paris.
The Brit - who was making his first Grand Slam main draw debut - put up a valiant effort against the world No.7 but eventually lost out 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 54 minutes to bring his run to an end.
Boulter battles past spirited wild card
Boulter made a fast start against American wild card Urhobo on a warm evening in Paris, racing into a 3–0 lead before her opponent fought back to level the set.
The pair traded breaks in the closing stages, but it was the British No.3 who managed to capitalise on Urhobo's unforced errors to take the opener on her third set point.
Urhobo responded strongly in the second, securing the decisive break in the seventh game to draw level and force a decider on Court 8.
However, Boulter managed to regained control with a break in the fourth game to take the reigns once more. Although she was unable to serve out the match at the first attempt, she broke again to seal victory after a hard-fought contest lasting almost two and a half hours.
In the next round, she'll take on 28th seed Anastasia Potapova in a bid to surpass her tournament best run.
Samuel misses out on Grand Slam main draw debut
Samuel had won all three of his qualifying matches to reach the main draw, and carried that form into his first round clash against De Minaur, in what was his first match against a top 100 player.
After dropping the opening set, Samuel soon began to cause the Australian some trouble when he broke to take a 2-0 lead in the second. However, the experienced eighth seed immediately recovered the deficit before going on to break the Brit once more in the seventh game to wrap up a two set lead.
The 23-year-old - who is supported by the LTA Pro Transition Programme - refused to drop his head despite trailing against the former Roland Garros quarter-finalist, but De Minaur proved too strong as he reeled off a run of five games to secure his place in the second round.
Samuel leaves Paris at a new career-high ranking of world No.159 and will look to carry that momentum into the upcoming grass court swing.
