Daria Kasatkina's exit may have marked the end of the seniors' challenge at Roland Garros but 16-year-old Emerson Jones has ensured the Australian singles quest surges on at the junior event in Paris.

Gold Coast's exceptional Jones, who's already reached two junior grand slam finals, both last year in Melbourne and Wimbledon, got past her first hurdle as the world's No.2 junior and top seed here, defeating Capucine Jauffret, an American with a French tennis background, 6-1 1-6 6-2.
