Shockingly, none of the high-ranked seeds broke through from the French Open qualifiers

Two days ago, the French Open qualifying tournament came to an end. Unfortunately, Wang Xiyu, the only Chinese player to play in the final round of the qualifying round, was swept out by her opponent and missed the main draw of the French Open. What's even more shocking is that among the men's qualifiers who broke through to the main event, the highest seed ranked is the eleventh seed, American Quinn; The women's singles qualifying round fared slightly better, but among the qualifiers who made it to the main draw, the highest seeded was only the ninth-seeded Argentine player. It should be noted that Sheila entered the main draw after defeating Wang Xiyu. So, who are the top three seeds in the men's and women's singles qualifiers? In which qualifying round did they lose? And to whom did they lose? Today, let this article take you to take a look.

Former Masters champion Croatia's Čurić is the top seed in the men's singles qualifiers, and despite having won four Challenger tournaments this year, he has struggled to find a win on tour. In the first round of the French Open qualifying tournament against France's Droguet, Čurić won the first set and once saw the dawn of qualification. However, then Deroguet won two sets in a row and won the reversal.

Kazakhstan's Andriy Shevchenko, a former tour finalist, is the second seed in the men's singles qualifiers, and after losing a set in the first round of qualifying, he defeated Japan's Shintaro Mochizuki in two sets in a row. In the second round of the qualifying round, Shevchenko lost another set against the wild card holder of France's Ebel, but fortunately he adjusted his condition in time to win two sets in a row and reversed his opponent again. However, the good fortune ends there. Austria's Misolic defeated Shevchenko in the deciding round of qualifying. It is worth mentioning that Misolic is the opponent of China's Buyun Chaokert in the first round of the French Open. Despite failing to qualify for the main draw, Shevchenko was the only top three seed in the men's qualifying tournament to win in the first round of qualifying.

American Bassa Valedi is the third seed in the men's singles qualifying round. This year, he won five straight victories at the Auckland Open and reached the semi-finals of his first career tour, although he lost in the semi-finals to eventual champion French veteran Monfils. In the first round of qualifying, he fought hard in three sets and finally lost to Argentina's Gourarini, unable to continue his progress.

Ukraine's Starodubtseva, who reached the quarterfinals of the WTA1000 tournament, was the top seed in the women's singles qualifying round, beating Belgium's Van der Wenkel in the first round of qualifying. Despite losing a set in the second round of qualifying, Starodubtseva won two sets in a row to defeat Slovakia's Zidanšek. In the final round of the qualifying round, she ate a duck egg and was swept out by Czech player Belek, and had to accept the fate of returning home.

Hungary's Galfi is the second seed in the women's singles qualifying round, and she beat Romanian veteran Bogle in the first round of qualifying to advance to the tournament. However, in the second round of qualifying, against Czech player Valentova, Galfi won only five games in two sets, which can be called a complete defeat.

Belarus's Sasnovich, who reached the second week of a Grand Slam, was the third seed in the women's singles qualifiers, beating Russia's Prozorova in the first round of qualifying. In the second round of qualifying, Sasnovic lost to Italy's Stefanini in three sets, and she became the first top three seed to go out in three sets in the women's singles qualifiers.

Although Churic, Shevchenko, Bassa Valedi, Starodubtseva, Galfi and Sasnovic have all been eliminated in the French Open qualifiers, there is a good chance that these six players will make a comeback on the tour in the future. Hopefully, in the next races, these six players will have a good record. That's it for today, and it will continue tomorrow.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Yixin Jushi)
