Passée par les qualifications afin d’intégrer le tableau final de ce Roland-Garros, Léolia Jeanjean a hérité du pire tirage possible puisqu’elle affrontera la N.1 mondiale Iga Swiatek au premier tour, mardi.

We could say that it’s a high price to pay. After having managed to escape from the jungle of qualifications, during which she had to win three times to give herself the right to enter the final draw of Roland-Garros, Léolia Jeanjean will have to face the best player in the world.

Montpellier has effectively inherited the world No.1, Iga Swiatek, who already knew that’ she was going to play against a qualifier. But it was a question of knowing which one and the draw chose the only Frenchwoman to extricate herself from these qualifications.

"On the one hand it’s great, and on the other hand it’s hard for me"

News which did not fail to make the main interested party react. "This is the worst print I could have had" , the Héraultaise laughed Friday evening with Midi Libre. &amp ;quot;It’s a big poster, that’s clear. It’s mixed. On the one hand it’s great and on the other it’s hard for me, she continues.

One thing is certain, Court Philippe-Chatrier is waiting for Jeanjean for this gala match. And the help of the French public will not be too much since in front of her, the Montpellier will face the double title holder at Roland-Garros.
