Unfortunately, this Wednesday the scenario was the same for Harmony tanning. The Frenchie was forced to give up for medical reasons against Arantxa Rus at 6-1, 1-1. At the opening of the ball, Clara Burel was dominated by the Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova. Last Frenchwoman in the running, Caroline garcia was not able to save the day of the Blue. She bowed 3-6, 6-2, 6-1.

Garcia falls, Tan gives up, Burel to the mat
The Lyonnaise Caroline garcia, now acquired by Gabi Urpi, visit a long route in Alsace before heading to Porte d’Auteuil. But the story ended earlier than expected this Wednesday at Strasbourg. The Lyonnaise cracked in three sets in the second round against the Czech Barbora Krejcikova (3-6, 6-2, 6-1). A rather disappointing performance of “Caro“who hoped without doubting to do much better in front of his audience even if there is still some positive to be taken from his first round and the first set of this meeting. Roland Garros.

Guest, Harmony tanning had a very good game in the 1st round against the Belgian Alison Van Uytvanck. A 6-4, 6-4 victory which confirmed the good form of the protégé of Nathalie Tauziat since a few weeks. But, this Wednesday, the Frenchie had to give up against Arantxa Rus 6-1, 1-1. The 4th abandonment in two days in Alsace. Hopefully this is just prevention for the one who will be in the big picture of Roland Garros thanks to a wild card. Fallout of the 88th player in the world Varvara Gracheva in the first round, Clara Burel faced Ekaterina Alexandrova this Wednesday. The Russian, 33rd in the world, was too strong (6-2, 6-4) for the Breton.
