Surprise at the French Open: The American Jessica Pegula, who was placed third, has already been eliminated.

Last year’s quarter-finalist failed in the third round of the clay court Grand Slam with 1: 6, 3: 6 at the Belgian Elise Mertens.

Mertens reached the round of 16 in Paris for the third time. “I am very happy that I won in straight sets. She’s a very good player,” said the 27-year-old.

Co-favorite Aryna Sabalenka (Belarus) is also fighting for a place in the round of 16 on Friday. She meets Kamilla Rakhimova from Russia.
