Lucciana Pérez is already in the round of 16 of Roland Garros Junior

Peruvian tennis does not stop at Roland Garros and now it is Lucciana Pérez Alarcón who carries the racket with the national colors. The young woman is already in the round of 16 of the junior women’s draw after winning her second game yesterday.

The Peruvian surpassed the Czech Alena Kovackova (69 ITF) 6-3 and 6-1 to get into the top 16 of the youth tournament. It is worth remembering that ‘Lu’ is the sixth seed and currently occupies box 8 of the ITF (International Tennis Federation) women’s ranking.

In the third round, the Peruvian will face the local Astrid Lew Yan Foon tomorrow, who is ranked 216 in the youth ranking, but at 17 years old she has been having a great season, since she has fully ventured into professional tournaments.

“It is incredible to play at this level. This motivates you to continue working and training harder”, Lucciana said in statements to the Peruvian Tennis Federation. By settling into the third round (eighth for juniors), she already far surpassed what she did in her first appearance, in 2022, when she fell in her debut.

Meanwhile, in the double box he could not advance in his debut. Together with the Argentine Luciana Moyano she fell in three sets against the Russian Gureva and the Japanese Kinoshita.

Rest

Rods gets off the Lyon Challenger

After playing four high-level matches for Juan Pablo Varillas, the national tennis player will take a just and well-deserved rest upon his return from Roland Garros. Yesterday his withdrawal from the Lyon Challenger for next week was confirmed and before that he had already dropped out of the Heilbronn Challenger that began yesterday.

With this, Juan Pablo will fully think about preparing his participation in Wimbledon, his third Grand Slam of the year to which he is already classified to the main draw.

Thus, Peruvian tennis rests and leaves its mark in the big tournaments. Now it’s time to follow Lucciana in Paris.
