Since it's very hard to be in the main draw of the grand slam, it's quite an achievement for those ranked outside the top 100 to find themselves in the main draw. Furthermore, it's even harder to get deeper into the main draw.
The girl in the photo, Carina Witthoeft, was the highest ranked player among them. She reached the third round.
