A proud Daria Kasatkina has declared the embrace she's felt from Australia during her first grand slam under its flag at the French Open was like nothing she had ever known before in her tennis career. Kasatkina finally bowed out at Roland Garros on Monday, beaten by the 18-year-old phenom and her fellow Russian-born friend Mirra Andreeva 6-3 7-5 after what the victorious teenager rightly called a 'hell of a match' in the fourth round at Roland Garros.

Daria Kasatkina’s exit may have marked the end of the seniors’ challenge at the French Open but 16-year-old Emerson Jones has ensured the Australian singles quest surges on at the junior event in Paris. Gold Coast’s exceptional Jones, who’s already reached two junior grand slam finals, both last year in Melbourne and Wimbledon, got past her first hurdle as the world’s No.2 junior and top seed here, defeating Capucine Jauffret, an American with a French tennis background, 6-1 1-6 6-2.
