Paris, France, 29 May 2022 | Leigh Rogers

Ajla Tomljanovic has advanced to the third round in the Roland Garros women’s doubles draw. It is her career-best performance in Paris and marks her best Grand Slam doubles result since the 2018 US Open.

While this is a new experience for the 29-year-old Tomljanovic, it is a familiar position for compatriot Sam Stosur.

The enduring Stosur has progressed to the Roland Garros women’s doubles third round for the 11th time in her career. The 2006 champion is building impressive form alongside fellow former world No.1 Latisha Chan, with the unseeded duo yet to lose a set this tournament.

Tomljanovic and Stosur are among five Aussie players set to compete in Paris on day eight of the Grand Slam tournament.

Roland Garros is broadcast live in Australia on the Nine Network and Stan Sport, with play beginning from 7pm AEST.
