The Frenchwoman who had saved 4 match points in the last round of qualifying dismissed the Belgian Alison van Uytvanck to climb to the 3rd round of the US Open.

Clara Burel, 131st in the world and qualified, confirmed this Thursday her exploit of the first round against the Kazakh Elena Rybakina, winner of the last Wimbledon by qualifying for the third round of the US Open at the expense of the Belgian Alison van Uytvanck ( 43rd), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

The Frenchwoman, who is taking part in her second New York Major at the age of 21 (elimination in the first round in 2021), will face Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka, 6th in the world and semi-finalist in 2021, to try to climb into the round of 16.

This season, Burel was eliminated in the first round of the first three Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, Roland-Garros, Wimbledon).

His best Major result to date is the third round achieved at Roland-Garros in 2020.
