Roland-Garros: End of the fairy tale for Leoliajean

Leolia Jeanjean was not able to take the step. On Saturday, the Frenchwoman who wrote the most beautiful Roland-Garros story, Leolia Jeanjean, was defeated by Irina Camelia Begu, 6-1, and 6-4. Jeanjean's record, which was 63rd after she knocked down world No.8 Karolina Piliskova, did not surprise Begu.

Leolia Jeanjean is ranked 227th worldwide. She has multiplied the unforced mistakes (27) despite the conjurations of the Suzanne-Lenglen courts. The former French tennis prodigy and tennis star, Leolia Jeanjean, collapsed after she missed five break points in her first game. The 26-year old right-hander gave her opponent the first break with two faults, before dropping the second game of white-service.

Jeanjean was still as feverish in round two. However, he regained his magic at the end of game by obtaining 5 breakpoints, but not converting them in an extended game lasting more than 12 minutes.

The Toulousaine returns to Roland-Garros at the end 2020 with some certainty. She defeated Pliskova to become the lowest-ranked player to defeat a top-10 female player at the Parisian Grand Slam, since Conchita Martinez in 1988, when she was a debutant.
