She is one of the biggest surprises at the start of the tournament. Diane Parry continues its momentum: it had already achieved the feat of eliminating the defending champion in the first round. She achieved a new tour de force by qualifying this Wednesday for the third round of Roland Garros.
The 19-year-old Frenchwoman, 97th player in the world, beat without trembling the Colombian Camila Osorio, 66th player in the world, with the final score of 6-3, 6-3. She thus reaches for the first time the 3rd round of a Major tournament.
The round of 16 in sight
This is not a first for Diane Parry on Parisian clay. She had already reached the 2nd round in 2019 in Paris when she was still a junior.
The licensed from the Boulogne Billancourt Tennis Club (TCBB) will face the American Sloane Stephens (64th), finalist at Roland-Garros in 2018 and winner of the US Open 2017 on Friday. The key: a place in the round of 16.
