In her very first grand slam main draw, where she had to qualify, Veronica Cepede Royg of Paraguay (#161) upset German player Sabine Lisicki (#51) of Germany in the first round of the French Open 62 62, to make her reach the second round of a grand slam for the first time.
She lost however to Sloane Stephens (#22) of the US in the second round 76(0) 61.
I hope to see her more in the grand slams soon. In the qualifying rounds, she had good wins over former top 100 players, Kaia Kanepi of Estonia and Romina Oprandi of Switzerland, so she really had some good matches under her belt before she reached the main draw.
