In three sets and despite fatigue, his determination was relentless. “A little gutted, but I’m so happy to have been able to experience this match in this atmosphere. You were exceptional, and you were supportive from start to finish. It was a big day between my match, and the final which awaits us shortly at PSG. I hope to make a 2 out of 2”, déclaré Diane Parry, qualified in 8th finale.
She qualified for the first time in her career in the eighth final of a Grand Slam. Paris is magical on clay. The other Frenchman of the day did not have the same success. Moise Kwamé, the revelation of the tournament, lost after four hours of a hotly contested match against the Chilean Alejandro Tabilo. The French public still found new hope for French tennis in the young 17-year-old player.
