Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino came into the spotlight this year by coming out of nowhere to win this year's Bogota Open in the WTA Tour - and that was on clay! However, this is Roland Garros and it's infinitely a bigger stage than Bogota and Lara also drew Ana Ivanovic who is playing really well this year. Maybe if she got Ana last year or the year before, maybe she would've had a chance of winning. But at 61 61, Ana just proved to be too much to the upstart player.
