At this Stage
No seeds and no marquee names here — just a first-round door standing open, and Léolia Jeanjean pushed through it the hard way. The French qualifier outlasted Veronika Erjavec 6-4 4-6 7-6(6) over nearly three hours, a match decided less by shot-making — Erjavec actually hit more winners — than by nerve in a deciding-set tiebreak. It earned Jeanjean a place in the last 64 against Daria Snigur, fresh from upsetting No. 8 seed Elina Svitolina. That next one, since played, went Snigur's way in straight sets — but Jeanjean had earned every inch of her place in the draw.
