Roland Garros: Diana Parry decisively defeated by Maya Hlaváčková in the third round

Paris – June 1, 2026: At the famous Philippe Chatrier Court during the French Open, French rising star Diane Parry was defeated on Monday by Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska. After a dominant performance by the Polish player, this round of 16 match ended in about 90 minutes with a clear victory for Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2.

In the first set, Chwalinska controlled the match, leaving almost no chances to her opponent and scoring points with precise baseline shots. As a qualifier, she showed impressive confidence and consistently stable form, which clearly put pressure on Parry.
