Anna-Lena Friedsam was eliminated in the second round as the last German tennis player at the French Open.
The 29-year-old from Andernach lost the classic clay court in Paris to the Russian Ekaterina Alexandrowa after just 62 minutes with 2: 6, 0: 6 and remained largely without a chance. Jule Niemeier and Tatjana Maria had already failed at the start.
Friedsam came under pressure early on and was quickly trailing by two breaks in the first set. The Russian, who was ranked 23rd, also dominated the second round with her fast and powerful attacking game. The world rankings-91. Friedsam also allowed himself too many slight mistakes to find his way back into the match. She is still waiting for the first third round entry at the French Open of her career.
