Christian Garin of Chile and Belinda Bencic of Switzerland won the boys' and girls' junior French Open titles in straight sets on Saturday.

The unseeded Garin beat fourth-seeded Alexander Zverev of Germany 6-4, 6-1, and the second-seeded Bencic dropped one game less in a 6-1, 6-3 win over No. 5 Antonia Lottner of Germany.

The 17-year-old Garin was the more clinical player, converting four of his six break points, compared to one of five for the 16-year-old Zverev.

Both girls, who are 16, struggled on their serves, but Bencic took advantage better, converting seven of her 13 break points, compared to just three of 12 for Lottner.
