MALLORCA, Spain — Gabriel Diallo picked up another win on grass as Canada’s tennis players continued to prepare for Wimbledon.

The 23-year-old Diallo advanced to the second round of the Mallorca Championships with a 7-5, 6-3 win over local favourite Jaume Munar of Spain on Monday, which took just 56 minutes to complete.

The six-foot-eight Diallo fired 10 aces and saved both break points he faced. He broke Munar three times on four chances, including twice in a four-match winning streak to claim the second set.
