Pushed by the public at the Philippe-Chatrier court, the semi-finalist of the 2022 US Open advances to the first round of the French Open for the ninth consecutive time. She nevertheless stopped in the second round during the last three editions.
The German first took advantage of Caroline Garcia’s numerous inaccuracies (21 unforced errors in the first set) to take the lead. But the Habs gradually regained the quality of their service, and their consistency in the exchange, to turn the match around and reach the second round. She will face the winner of the 2020 Australian Open, Sofia Kenin, who defeated Laura Siegemund (78th) in three sets (4-6, 6-2, 6-2).
