Simona Waltert vs Elizabeth Mandlik: French Open 2023 Preview, Schedule, Date, Form Guide, Head to Head, Live Streaming

Simona Waltert will make her Grand Slam main draw debut after submitting a successful qualifying bid for the seventh time; her first attempt was at Wimbledon in 2021. The Swiss player won the first two sets in straight sets before losing in three to local favourite Elsa Jacquemot. She was a Wimbledon girls’ semifinalist in 2017 and a former top 10 junior player. Her modest tour resume includes four main draw victories, all on clay and three the previous season. It includes impressive victories over Danielle Collins in a third-set tiebreak in Lausanne and Tamara Zidansek in straight sets in Parma.

In this clay-court swing, Elizabeth Mandlik is making some moves. After failing to win two matches in a row in all but one of her previous appearances from September to April, the American stormed into her biggest professional final at 125K Reus with victories over Dayana Yastremska, Nuria Parrizas-Diaz, and Jasmine Paolini. She was on the verge of winning the Spanish title when she was defeated in a third-set tiebreak by Sorana Cirstea. The former junior world No. 17 bounced back to beat Arina Rodinova and Laura Pigossi in three sets in the qualifying round of her Roland-Garros professional debut.
