Roland Garros II - Boys' Singles
GRAND SLAM - Friday (Day Thirteen) - Paris, France - Clay (Red)

Top seed Marcuss Deane will not compete in his second Grand Slam final after French opponent Wyatt LeRoux staged a miraculous comeback to beat him in three sets. Deane was in unstoppable form early as he bagelled the French wildcard in the first set, but after the nerves wore off LeRoux found his way back into the match and started to create chances on the Deane serve. In a lengthy tiebreaker, the local hope needed five set points to put Deane away and send the match to a deciding third and final set. There, both players had their opportunities as Deane had the chance to serve for the match three times. Unfortunately for him he was not successful in any of those attempts as LeRoux became the first Frenchman into the final 0-6, 7-6(6), 11-9.

It won't be an all-French final, though, as thirteenth seed Dominic Viens was beaten by Samuel Czarzewski in straight sets 2-6, 6-7(3).

Seeded players out: Marcuss Deane; Dominic Viens.
