The women's singles qualifications delivered their verdict this Tuesday afternoon. Of the three French players involved, only Diane Parry managed to qualify for the main draw after victories against Oksana Selekhmeteva (6-2, 7-5) and then Elisabetta Cocciaretto (6-2, 6-2).

Thus, the native of Nice knows her opponent in the first round, which is Irina-Camelia Begu, ranked 75th in the WTA. A match against Anna Kalinskaya in the second round would then be on the program if she succeeds.

The latter has drawn Linda Fruhvirtova, a player invited by the organizers. The winner of this clash will face Karolina Muchova in the second round.

Among the other qualified players, note the match-up between Anna Blinkova and Panna Udvardy. Zeynep Sonmez will challenge Belinda Bencic, Francesca Jones will be up against Dayana Yastremska. Ranked 625th, the revelation Teodora Kostovic, who defeated Ruse and Stefanini, will face Eva Lys.
