Disillusionment for Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, the last Blues involved with the seniors. Already in difficulty in the first and third rounds, the two French players finally lost in the quarter-finals against the experienced Lyudmyla Kichenok and Jelena Ostapenko, seeded n°11 in the tournament.
After a tight first set, the French finally cracked in the tie-break (2-2 then 2-7), before conceding an entry break in the second set (0-2). “Caro” and “Kiki” recovered well (3-3) but finally conceded a final break in the last game of the match.
