The Chilean tennis player Daniela seguel (217th in the WTA) advanced this Thursday to the third and final round of the French Open rankings, Roland Garros, third Grand Slam of the season.

In this way, the 27-year-old from Santiago is one match to enter the ‘Grande’ for the first time in his career on clay, which takes place in Paris.

In the second round of qualifying, the first national racket went from less to more to account for the Swiss Leonie King (145 °), who arrived with the favoritism due to its better ranking.

The scoreboard benefited Seguel for 4-6, 6-4 and 6-3, in two hours and 17 minutes of play.

For the passage to the ‘main draw’ of the most important contest of the season on brick dust, the Chilean will face the winner of the duel between the Bulgarian Viktoriya Tomova (133 °) and Mexican Renata Zarazúa (178 °).

If she makes her advance to the main draw, Seguel will break a long 38-year absence of a Chilean in Grand Slam in singles. The last player who was present was Germaine Ohaco at the 1982 US Open.
