Bernard Tomic has boosted Australia's French Open contingent to a dozen singles hopefuls with a gallant qualifying effort in Paris.
Tomic battled back from a service break down deep in the first set to beat Portugal's Goncalo Oliveira 7-6 (7-5), 7-5 on Friday to seal his place in the main draw.
Comeback trail: Bernard Tomic will take some strong form into the French Open.

Tomic could conceivably play Kyrgios in the first round after the Australian No.1 and 21st seed drew a qualifier in the first round earlier on Friday.
Ashleigh Barty, Daria Gavrilova, Samantha Stosur, Ajla Tomljanovic and Isabelle Wallace will fly the Australian flag in the women's singles.
