Canadian Gabriel Diallo was forced to retire at the French Open with an injury in the second set of his opening-round match against Australia’s James Duckworth.

Duckworth, the world No. 82, took the first set 6-3 in 43 minutes at Roland Garros and was leading 4-1 in the second when the 49th-ranked Diallo was forced to withdraw.

Diallo, from Montreal, entered the tournament battling lower back issues and reportedly suffered a cut to his finger on a glass bottle days before the match.

The 24-year-old Canadian stayed on serve with the 34-year-old Duckworth early in the opening set. However, Duckworth secured the critical break to go up 4-2 after forcing a backhand error from Diallo.

After serving out the set, Duckworth carried his momentum as Diallo's physical struggles continued, allowing the Australian to race to a 4-1 double-break lead before the Canadian had to retire.

Denis Shapovalov will take on Jaime Faria while Félix Auger-Aliassime goes up against Daniel Altmaier on Tuesday. On the women's side, Victoria Mboko will go up against Nikola Bartunkova on Tuesday, while Leylah Fernandez is scheduled to face Alycia Parks on Monday.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Brian White had two first-half goals and two second-half assists and Thomas Müller added three assists to propel the Vancouver Whitecaps to a 4-2 victory over San Diego FC on Saturday night.

White staked the current and reigning Western Conference leaders to a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute with assists from Müller and Tristan Blackmon.

Vancouver took a 2-0 lead into halftime after White used assists from Jeevan Badwal and Kenji Cabrera to score his 10th goal of the season.

David Vazquez scored his third goal of the season and career to get San Diego within 2-1 in the 53rd minute.

White and Müller set up rookie Bruno Caicedo's second goal for a 3-1 lead in the 67th minute after Caicedo subbed in for his eighth appearance four minutes earlier.

Luca Bombino was booked for a second yellow card five minutes later to leave San Diego short-handed.

White and Müller set up defender Ralph Priso for his first goal in four seasons for a three-goal advantage in the 75th minute. Priso entered the match one minute earlier.

Rookie Bryan Zamblé scored in the first minute of stoppage time for San Diego's final goal. He has two goals in his first 132 minutes of play.

Anders Dreyer had assists on both San Diego goals to tie Los Angeles FC's Son Heung-min for the league lead with nine.

White collected his first two assists of the season, while Müller has four to go along with four goals in 12 matches this season. Müller has 11 goals and seven assists in his first 19 appearances in the league.

Isaac Boehmer saved one shot in his first appearance this season for Vancouver (10-2-2).

Boehmer filled in for Yohei Takaoka, who was suspended for the match after picking up a red card in a 1-0 road loss to the Houston Dynamo last time out.

CJ Dos Santos finished with seven saves for San Diego (4-6-5) in his second start of the season.

Vancouver improves to 3-1-2 on the road, while San Diego falls to 3-3-3 at home.

CHICAGO (AP) — Robin Lod and Andrew Gutman each scored a goal Saturday night to help Chicago beat Toronto FC 2-1 on Saturday night for the Fire's third consecutive win.

Toronto (3-6-5) has lost three in a row and is winless in eight straight, dating back to a 3-2 victory over Colorado on April 4 — the last of a four-game unbeaten streak.

Chris Brady had three saves for the Fire (8-4-2).

The Fire is 14-14-14 against Toronto.

Lod opened the scoring in the 22nd minute. On the counterattack, Hugo Cuypers played a centring pass from the left side to Maren Haile-Selassie, who tapped a first-touch pass to a charging Lod, who beat goalkeeper Luka Gavran one on one to give the Fire a 1-0 lead.

Gutman headed home a corner kick played in by Philip Zinckernagel to give the Fire a 2-1 lead in the 65th minute.

Josh Sargent returned from a three-game absence (thigh) and scored a goal that made it 1-1 in 34th minute. Alonso Coello, on the counterattack, played a through ball to a charging Sargent for a first-touch finish that slipped under the crossbar.

Cuypers, who leads MLS with 13 goals this season, snapped his string of consecutive appearances with a goal at 10 games — the third longest in league history.
