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.

He joins Nick Kyrgios, John Millman, Matt Ebden, Jordan Thompson, James Duckworth and Alex de Minaur in the men's main event starting on Sunday.

Ashleigh Barty, Daria Gavrilova, Samantha Stosur, Ajla Tomljanovic and Isabelle Wallace will fly the Aussie flag in the women's singles.

Overlooked for wildcards at the Australian Open – where he bowed out in the final round of qualifying – and Roland Garros, the resurgent Tomic has earned his way into the draw the hard way.
