Clara Burel

Considered a typical mid-tier player in the tennis world, the young Frenchwoman, Clara Burel, hasn’t grabbed headlines with high-profile victories. Currently ranked 43rd in the world, she’s 23 years old. Burel commenced the Strasbourg tournament with a victory over the experienced and renowned Czech player, Karolina Pliskova, in a hard-fought match: 7-5, 0-6, 6-1. Throughout 2024, Burel has struggled to string together more than two consecutive wins, limiting her progress in tournaments. Now, she faces a formidable opponent she’s yet to defeat.

Elina Svitolina

Ukrainian tennis star Elina Svitolina continues to strive for consistent high-level performance, albeit facing challenges with stability. Svitolina kicked off the year with a finals appearance in Auckland, where she narrowly lost to Gauff. Since then, she hasn’t achieved significant results. As the defending champion of the tournament, Svitolina is determined to defend her title. Approaching her 30th birthday this year, she holds a solid 17th position in the world rankings. In the first round, Svitolina comfortably defeated Frenchwoman Diane Parry with a score of 6-3, 6-4.
