Wang Continues Comeback Wins Streak
Xinyu Wang moved into the second round in Rouen after winning three matches as a qualifier, all against local opponents, coming from a set down each time, including her win over Chloe Paquet.
The 24-year-old had a strong start to the season, reaching the final in Auckland, the fourth round at the Australian Open, and a quarterfinal in Cluj, but struggled in recent weeks, arriving on a four-match losing streak.
She will now look to build momentum on clay, aiming for consecutive wins outside Grand Slams and targeting her first tour-level quarterfinal on the surface.

Sorana Cirstea edged past Fiona Ferro in a tense 6-3, 6-7, 7-6 win in the opening round in Rouen. She let slip a 4-1 lead in the second set and nearly lost a 5-2 advantage in the decider before holding her nerve.

She also reached the quarterfinal in Linz last week, losing to Mirra Andreeva in three sets, and will now aim to capitalize on a favorable draw for a deep run this week.
