Clara Burel will not go to the round of 16 this time, but it is a story of months, if we are to believe the Chinese Zhang.
The striker of the young hope tricolor was confused in compliments for her opponent near a somewhat miraculous victory, so much the Breton made the points and the faults, but especially the faults on her too many unconverted break points, by example at 5-3, 0-40 in his favor in the first set.
🎙🇫🇷 Clara Burel's disappointment just after her match:
"I didn't go far, but she managed the important points better".
The French lost 7/6, 7/5 against the Chinese Shuai Zhang.

“She's playing extraordinarily well, even though we played against each other last week, I think she's improved so much over the past week.
From the start, I won every point at the cost of a very close battle.
Even though we played against each other last week, I learned a lot from her last week and today as well.
She is an excellent young player.
I think she's going to have a bright future.
She plays great tennis.
I love her so much ".
And Zhang didn't stop there.
“She can make incredible angles, put on topspin, slices, cushioning, passings, she has all the shots, I feel.
She is truly an incredible player.
She is so young, she already has everything it takes to win on the pitch.
I have the impression that I am still learning by playing against her ”.
And no one paid her to say that.
When is the world number 1 spot for?
