the French Diane Parry eliminated in the second round by the Russian prodigy Mirra Andreeva

She missed her subject. Diane Parry (79th in the world) lost Thursday, June 1, in two sets against the young Russian Mirra Andreeva (6-1, 6-2). A real disappointment, facing this player from the qualifications, for the Niçoise who had disposed of the Ukrainian Anhelina Kalinina (6-2, 6-3), ranked 26th in the WTA, in the previous round.

In a Simonne-Mathieu court with initially sparse stands, Diane Parry was breakered from the start by the one who, at the age of 16, is already 143rd in the world. Technically outdated and guilty of 15 unforced errors, Parry was then never able to compete, yielding the first round to Andreeva in half an hour, despite a few minutes of hesitation due to the discomfort of a spectator.

A jump at the start of the second set with a shutout at 0-1 to unbreak his opponent gave hope to the public. But the loss of his serve at 2-2 after a disputed game was ultimately fatal to him, as evidenced by his double fault on serve to concede the 5-2. In the next round, Andreeva will challenge the American Coco Gauff (seed 6) or the Austrian Julia Grabher with the certainty of entering the top 100 at the end of the week. Something to celebrate his beautiful career for his very first participation in a Grand Slam tournament.

The carnage continues for the tricolor clan

On the other hand, the French clan begins the day as it finished the previous one – with six tricolor eliminations out of six engaged without counting the package of Gaël Monfils. The last hopes of seeing a Frenchman in the third round of Roland-Garros rest on Océane Dodin, opposed to Ons Jabeur (7th in the world), and Arthur Rinderknech, against Taylor Fritz (seed number 9).
