Andreeva, continuing to approach the top hundred in the world rankings, on June 1, in the second round, “RG” will play with Frenchwoman Diana Parry. can the 16-year-old Russian qualify for the third round? Andreeva is progressing at a very high pace – after a brilliant performance in Madrid, she confidently started at Roland Garros. The 16-year-old athlete at the start of “RG” played very aggressively and carefully chose the direction of the shots. Mirra nearly tripled Risk in actively won balls (20:7) and gave up just two points on second serve (16 of 18).

Parry is also playing pretty smart, she had to deal in the first round with Roma runner-up Angelina Kalinina (6-2, 6-3). However, the Frenchwoman lacks stability, and this will become a problem for her during a meeting with Andreeva. Diana’s only chance to hang on to this match is to get some fan support. But Mirra is mature beyond her years, and she is no longer bothered by the anti-stadium.

The Paris tournament, which takes place on clay, began on May 28. In 2022, Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek won the French Open.
