Double titled at the Lagardère Trophy, Kristina Mladenovic prepared Roland-Garros in Morocco rather than Strasbourg. She is not the only blue in this case. In Rabat, she will have one goal: to return to the Top 100. Because this Monday, she is ranked 110th in the world… In the first round, she took over Tessah Andrianjafitrimo, 142nd in the world and lucky loser. A victory at the end of a big fight of 3:00 that Mladenovic won 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (7) having dismissed a match point. This victory with a knife will do a lot of good for the former Top 10. This is his second success of the year, the first since the first round of qualifying in Madrid.
Kristina Mladenovic won the AO Mixte in January
Two other French women were on the track. At the start of the day, Clara Burell started her week well by taming the Hungarian Panna Udvardy, 7-6(4), 7-6(3). On his side, Chloe Paquet did not hold once morest Mayar Sherif, 6-0, 6-2. The Parisian, 102nd in the world, is still chasing the Top 100 and will try to enter it thanks to Roland-Garros.
