The French world number 177 won against Belarus Gerasimov in three sets 7-6, 6-4, 6-3 in 2:17.
He holds his first Grand-Slam victory there.
Whoever took advantage of an invitation therefore passes to the second round of Roland Garros and will face the Spaniard world number 12 Carreno-Busta.
He is the first Frenchman to win at the start of the fortnight.
