And two!
Diane Parry continues her momentum: the 97th player in the world who had achieved the feat of eliminating the defending champion in the first round qualified for the third on Wednesday by dismissing the Colombian Camila Osorio (66th) without trembling 6-3, 6-3.
“I don't intend to stop there!
“Launched the 19-year-old player after the meeting.
"It's pure happiness and I will give my all to go as far as possible," she added.
We will have to start by dismissing in the next round the American Sloane Stephens (64th), finalist at Roland-Garros in 2018 and winner of the US Open 2017. "Like today, I will have to be aggressive and super solid", Parry said.
She reached the 3rd round of a Major for the first time.
Junior world champion in 2019, Parry has already been talked about at Roland-Garros.
Three years ago she stood out there by becoming, at 16, the youngest player in ten years to win a match in the tournament.
Her career ended in the next round against the Belgian Élise Mertens.
Since then, she had been slow to confirm her great potential that all her coaches recognized in her.
Blame it on a late arrival on the professional circuit and the global pandemic.
But for several years, the native of Nice – she was born there on September 1 during her parents' holidays on the Côte d'Azur but has always lived in Boulogne (Hauts-de-Seine) – has multiplied her performances.
In a few months she climbed 200 places in the WTA rankings.
She was ranked 305th in the world in November 2020 and is now 97th.
