Roland-Garros 2022dossier

Almost unknown to the general public, the 19-year-old player managed the feat of taking out the Czech, No. 2 in the world rankings, who won the Paris tournament last year.

This is the first big surprise of this Parisian fortnight. Diane Parry, 97th in the world, created the feat this Monday in the first round of Roland-Garros by eliminating the defending champion and world No.2 Barbora Krejcikova 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 in the overheated atmosphere of the Central court with closed roof.

The Frenchwoman, who has only reached the second round (2019) once on clay in Paris, will try to do better this year against Colombian Camila Osorio (66th), winner the day before of another Frenchwoman, Harmony Tan .

More information to come.
