Nastasja Schunk missed a surprise on her French Open debut. The 19-year-old tennis talent kept up in Paris against the former tournament winner and world number one Simona Halep for a long time, but then had to admit defeat. The athlete from Ludwigshafen lost on the court to Simonne Mathieu 4:6, 6:1, 1:6.
Schunk slipped into the tournament as a so-called "lucky loser". The Wimbledon 2021 junior finalist benefited from Croatia's Ana Konjuh's injury and at times had her sights set on the biggest win of her career thanks to her powerful play. However, Halep gained decisively in the third set and Schunk still had to learn the lesson.
Number three on the seeding list, Paula Badosa, didn't want to stay long. The Spaniard did not show any weaknesses in her first round duel with the French Fiona Ferro and won her second round ticket 6: 2 and 6: 0. In this it is for Badosa against the Slovenian Kaja Juvan.
