Benneteau bids RG adieu as Del Potro advances

Del Potro swiftly opened up a 3-0 lead in the second set that all but sealed Benneteau’s fate, but with a raucous French crowd behind him – including compatriot Alize Cornet – the world No.62 dug in to keep the scoreline respectable, saving a set point at 5-2 to force the Argentine to serve it out.
