The first racket of Ukraine unexpectedly lost to the French owner of the wild card.
Angelina Kalinina suspended the competition at Roland Garros after the opening match. The Ukrainian tennis player unexpectedly easily lost to the Frenchwoman Diane Parry.
It is worth noting that the Ukrainian is the 25th seed in the tournament, while his opponent got into the main round only thanks to a wild card from the organizers.
However, despite the status of favorite, our athlete easily lost to his opponent in two sets. The game, which lasted only 83 minutes, ended with a score of 6:2, 6:3 – in favor of the hostess of the courts.
It should be noted that during the time spent on the court, Kalinina filed three aces, made a double fault, and also failed to realize any of the two opportunities she received for a break.
So, Angelina played in the first base round of a clay major for the third time and lost for the first time.
