The third racket of Ukraine Lesya Tsurenko (No. 66 WTA) advanced to the third round of the French Open tennis championship with a prize fund of 49.6 million euros. In the 1/32 finals, the 34-year-old from Kiev met with the American Lauren Davis (No. 52 WTA), but the latter refused to continue the match with the Ukrainian in the second set.
At the time the fight was stopped, our compatriot won the first set and was leading in the second – 6:3, 1:0. In the next round, Lesya will face 22-year-old Canadian Bianca Andreescu (No. 36 WTA).
As GLOBAL HAPPENINGS reported, Tsurenko defeated Czech tennis player Barbora Krejchikova in the first round of Roland Garros.
During an interview, Lesya Viktorovna admitted that she did not understand what had changed dramatically after a year of a full-scale invasion of Russia, which is why Russians around the world began to return to big sport.
Recall that Lesya Tsurenko refused to go on court against a fan of the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, Belarusian Arina Sabolenko, talking about a shocking conversation with the head of the WTA.
