Paris – Friday, 09/25/2020, 5:20 PM
Barbara Haas can look forward to qualifying for the French Open after her participation in the US Open.
The 24-year-old Austrian survived the third qualifying round at Roland Garros and defeated Romanian Elena-Gabriela Ruse after 1:38 hours and a rain break in the first set with 6: 4.7: 5.
She is on the main field for the third time in one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, for the first time in Paris, and thus has secured at least € 60,000 in gross prize money.
Haas had recently made it to the main US Open competition thanks to many rejections: there had been no qualifying in New York. She then had to clearly bow to later runner-up Viktoria Asarenka (BLR) with 1: 6.2: 6.
In the first major appearance in the “main draw” he qualified four years ago in New York, but at that time he was inferior to Timea Babos (HUN). Haas is now fighting for his first main round win at a major tournament in Paris, his opponent should make himself known during the course of Friday.
