Benneteau bids RG adieu as Del Potro advances

The seed advanced, the match was won in straight sets, but Juan Martin del Potro knew the result was about the man who stood, one last time, across the net at Roland-Garros. For Julien Benneteau, a love affair that began long before his French Open main-draw debut in 2002 is at an end; in his 100th Grand Slam singles match, he was beaten by his illustrious Argentine opponent, 6-4 6-3 6-2.
