News posted by www.newsinfoline.com

Fernando Gonzalez's French Open tilt was brought to a juddering halt on Friday when he was destroyed 6-3 6-4 6-3 by Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov, who is making his debut in the main draw of a grand slam.The charismatic Chilean, the 12th seed and semi-finalist here last year, had no answer to Dolgopolov's penetration and pace and capitulated in the bright sunshine on Court 17 in an hour and 49 minutes.The 21-year-old Ukrainian now faces Spain's claycourt specialist Nicolas Almagro, the 19th seed, for a place in the fourth round.Almagro battered Belgian Steve Darcis for the loss of just eight games to reach round three for the third straight year.(Editing by Martyn Herman; To query or comment on this story emailsportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)
