After having a series of defeats on hard court at the start of the year (seven in a row between mid-January and the end of March), Gracheva (23 years old, 94th in the world) now hopes to reach the third round in Rouen. To do this, she will have to win against the Chinese Yue Yuan (38th in the world), an opponent who beat her in March in the first round of the WTA 1000 in Indian Wells.
Parry does not join Garcia
Less happy this Wednesday on Rouen soil, Diane Parry was forced to retire during her match against the Slovak Anna Karolina Schmiedlova. She won the first set 6-3 and was trailing 3-1 in the second when she threw in the towel due to an injury to her right thigh that occurred during the first set, on a return. “I felt it a little all the time, I called the physiotherapist to see if he could strap me and see if it could help me, but it didn’t change much so I preferred stop, she declared after her abandonment. We know the area of the pain but we have to wait a few days before taking images, an ultrasound or something else, it is still too early. And then I will check with the doctor in Paris to find out how long it will take me to recover and come back. »
It is therefore Schmiedlova (68th in the world) who will face Caroline Garcia in the round of 16.
