“Finally a French woman will win this tournament”, the final is on Sunday

The Saint-Malo Open 35, an international professional tennis tournament for women, began a week ago with players ranked from 11th in the world. This Saturday the singles semi-finals took place. A tournament where the French women rather distinguished themselves. What’s more, there is a 100% French final coming up this Sunday from 15:00.

The Saint-Malo Open 35 can now, following a reform of the WTA, welcome players ranked from 11th in the world. To date, four of them belong to the Top 50. A victory in 90 minutes and two winning sets for French Chloé Paquet against Swiss Céline Naef. For 188^e world player, this tournament is a foretaste of Roland-Garros: “We are all very well prepared. We know we have a big tournament coming up and we all want to do well. So these are really great tournaments to prepare for, and in addition in Saint-Malo, the field number of players was very high and it’s cool that we found two French women in the final.reports Chloé Paquet.

What we are sure of today is that finally a French woman will win this tournament. Afterwards there is an international tournament, so it doesn’t happen often, it’s kind of normal. This year, the French women in particular shone.

Today’s second poster, Alizée Cornet facing Loïs Boisson. Here again two French women for a single place in the final. It is therefore certain that there will be a French player who wins at Open 35. After 13 years of existence, this is the first: “What we are sure of today is that finally a French woman will win this tournament. Afterwards there is an international tournament, so it doesn’t happen often, it’s a bit normal. This year, the French women especially shone.”concludes Thierry Cardona Gil, co-director of the Saint-Malo Open 35 tournament.

Tennis women who play lively, full stands and won over spectators, like Louma: “I think it’s great that there are two French women in the final. It will bring an audience and it will also allow young girls to be able to dream. It’s impressive.”

The final in the Open 35 will therefore pit the two French women Chloé Paquet and Loïs Boisson against each other on the central court in Saint-Malo on Sunday at 15:00.
