While waiting for the Franco-French duel between Geoffrey Blancaneaux and Enzo Couacaud (interrupted) and Léolia Jeanjean’s match once morest Georgina Garcia-Perez (scheduled for later in the night), the French are not successful in qualifying for the ‘US Open.

This Friday, only Clara Burel joined the main round of the American Grand Slam by winning the tie-break of the third set (2-6, 6-4, 7-6) once morest the Japanese Misaki Doi. The 21-year-old Frenchwoman alternated the good and the bad on her face-off (11 aces, 8 double faults) to finally get out of it.

The rest of the blue contingent was less successful since Corentin Moutet lost in two sets (7-6, 6-2) once morest the Chinese Yibing Wu (178th in the world), as did Hugo Grenier once morest the Slovak Norbert Gombos (114th ), defeated in three sets (6-4, 3-6, 6-3) and Chloé Paquet, also beaten in three sets by Czech Linda Fruhvirtova (6-4, 3-6, 6-3).
