KAJA JUVAN

ROLAND GARROS• Making second main draw appearance at Roland

Garros• Last year in qualifying, defeated Gauff in 2r but lost

to Pera in the final round; made Grand Slam main draw debut as lucky loser, falling to Cirstea in 1r (once led 7-5 4-2 and also 5-3 in the deciding set)

• Owns a 2-4 record at majors• Faces No. 22 Kerber in the opening round today;

record vs Top 50 opponents stands at 1-4 with the only victory coming against No.18 Vondrousova at Palermo earlier this year, which is also her most recent win over a left-hander

• One of 11 teenagers in the draw• The most recent occasion a teenager won Roland

Garros was 1997, when Iva Majoli, 19, beat Hingis, 16. While across all Slams the last champion was the 19-year-old Andreescu at 2019 US Open

• Last year at Roland Garros, the progress of Amanda Anisimova (17) and Marketa Vondrousova (19) to the semifinals meant that for the first time since 2009 US Open, two teenagers made the last four at a major. Vondrousova also became the first teenager to reach the final in Paris since Ivanovic (19) in 2007

ROLAND GARROS• Making 13th main draw appearance at Roland Gar-

ros (14th overall)• Best result here in Paris was reaching QF stage in

2012 (l. eventual R-Up Errani) and 2018 (l. eventual champion Halep) – remains the only major where she has yet to reach the final

• Also made R16 in 2013 (l. Kuznetsova) and 2014 (l. Bouchard), and 3r in 2015 (l. Muguruza)

• Hoisting the title this fortnight would complete her career Grand Slam, having captured the Australian Open and US Open (2016) and Wimbledon (2018) – would become just the 11th woman all-time to complete the career Grand Slam

• The last left-handed player to triumph at Roland Gar-ros was Monica Seles in 1992 (d. Graf in F), while the last lefty to make the final here was Vondrousova in 2019 (l. Barty)

• The last German player to capture the title here was Stefanie Graf in 1999 (d. Hingis in F)

• Record in Grand Slam 1r matches stands at 34-16, most recent loss coming against Mladenovic at 2019 US Open

• Has fallen six times at the first hurdle in Paris, in-cluding three times in the last four years; her 1r loss in 2017 (l. Makarova) marked the only time so far in Open Era that a Top seed lost in the opening round at Roland Garros

• Owns 108-47 win-loss record at Gram Slams - one of seven active players with more than a century of victories at this level; is 17-12 here in Paris, which makes Roland Garros the only major where she has yet to win 20+ matches (32-12 at Australian Open, 31-11 at Wimbledon and 28-12 at US Open)

• Opens up this year’s campaign with first career en-counter against No.103 Juvan, taking on a teenager in 1r at Roland Garros for the second consecutive year (l. Potapova in 2019)

• Last loss to a player ranked outside Top 100 was against No.934 Stephens at 2017 Toronto, who played just the third tournament after returning from an 11-month injury lay-off (w/right foot injury)

• Seeking 80th career main draw victory on clay, and the first since 2019 Madrid

• Has compiled a staggering 112-41 advantage against teenage opponents, including a 8-5 mark at majors and 21-12 record on clay - this year owns 1-1 record (d. Cocciaretto at Australian Open, l. Yastremska at Adelaide)

• One of 11 active Grand Slam champions and one of seven former No.1s in the draw

• One of 26 thirtysomethings and one of six Germans in the field
