Paris, Roland Garros, French Open Day 12 10/06/2021 Barbora Krejicikova (CZE) wins semi final match Roger Parker International Sports Fotos Ltd
Roland Garros champion Barbora Krejcikova was waylaid on Monday by an inspired French teenager, with the Czech losing her Grand Slam title 1-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Nice-born 19-year-old Diane Parry, ranked 97th, did the damage to the holder, taking just under two and a quarter hours to dethrone last year’s surprise winner.
Parry broke six times in the first-round match, earning her second career win at a major from six outings.
Krejcikova was competing for the first time since February due to a run of injuries and paid the price for her rusty game with 45 unforced errors.
