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.

Cirstea Survives Three Set Thriller

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. 

The Romanian has been consistent this season, winning at least two matches in six of the seven tournaments she has completed, including a title in Cluj-Napoca and a fourth-round run in Miami, bringing her close to her previous career-high ranking. 

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.

Verdict
