“Strasbourg WTA 250: Highlights and Expectations for Roland-Garros”

One week from the start of Roland-Garrospart of the circuit has an appointment in Alsace, on the beaten earth of Strasbourg. Even if it is not this year that the tournament brings together the most beautiful field, the table is made up of some pretty names like Elina Svitolina, Magda Linette, Shuai Zhang or Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. On the tricolor side, we now count on Clara Burel to try to figure well since Alize Cornet was eliminated from the start. The Breton was able to trap the seeded n°5 Sorana Cirstea in the first round. A victory that does a lot of good a week away from Roland-Garros. In the second round this Tuesday, the Frenchie will have one more shot to play against Kaia Kanepi. At 37, the Estonian has struggled to string together victories lately.

Seeded n°4, Bernard Per had to work hard in the first round against the lucky loser Sophie Chang. She will want to reassure herself against the Australian Kimberly Birrell this Tuesday. A fine duel is to be expected between the young Emma Navarro and the Swiss Jil Teichmannseeded No. 8.
