Petra Kvitova vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto will take place in the first round of the 2023 French Open on May 28.
Petra Kvitova hasn’t won a match since winning the Miami Open, her first major title in five years. The Czech, who had previously reached the quarterfinals at Indian Wells, withdrew from Stuttgart and Rome due to a foot injury and lost in the first round in Madrid to Jule Niemeier, 7-6, 6-1, a month ago. The former world No. 2 has a 12-1 record in the first round of the Paris Masters, the best of any major. She reached the semifinals in 2012 and 2020, but has struggled in the last two editions, withdrawing in the second round in 2021 and losing to Daria Saville at the same stage in 2022.
In her short career, Elisabetta Cocciaretto has made six Grand Slam main draw appearances. Her only win at this level came last year at Wimbledon, when she defeated Martina Trevisan 6-2, 6-0. In contrast, her only previous bid at Roland-Garros came in 2021, when she was defeated in straight sets by Ana Bogdan. The Italian has risen to the top 50 after a year of success on both hard and clay courts. On concrete, she won the 125K Tampico and was a first-time WTA finalist in Hobart. Her dirt performance includes more 125K success, including a title in San Luis Potosi in April and a final in Makarska last year.
