Contrary trajectories this Thursday afternoon at Roland-Garros where the young guard embodied by Clara Burel, 19, climbed to the third round for her first participation in the Porte d'Auteuil tournament when Alizé Cornet saw the adventure end against the Chinese Zhang (6-4,7-6).

The young Breton?

357th in the WTA rankings and who benefited from an invitation from the organizers, defeated the Slovenian Kaja Juvan (7-6, 6-2).

Solid in defense, the protégé of Alexia Dechaume and Thierry Champion was able to erase two set points in favor of her opponent to finally afford the first round in the decisive game.

The ex-N.1 world juniors, who is coming back from an injury to the left wrist, will meet in the next round the Chinese Shuai Zhang who has precisely put an end to the hopes of Alizé Cornet.
