Roland Garros 2023. 1/16 final
Bianca Andreescu (Canada) – Lesya Tsurenko (Ukraine) – 1:6, 1:6
This was the girls’ third date. Tsurenko won all 3 fights. Note that in 2019 Bianca won the US Open.
For the match, Lesya gave only one step. In the 1st match of the 2nd set, Andreescu took a break, but then Tsurenko took 6 games in a row.
The Ukrainian will play for the fourth time in his career at this stage of the Grand Slam tournament and for the second time in Paris. In 2018, the Ukrainian did not finish the match against Garbigny Muguruza.
In the next round of the French Major, the Ukrainian will play with the world’s first racket, Iga Sventek. Last year Tsurenko lost to the Iga in the 2nd round of the French Major, and lost to one thousandth at Rome this season.
