Stephens and Putintseva to Clash in French Open First Round
Former Finalist Stephens Faces Putintseva in Eighth Career Matchup
Aggro History Expected in Matchup of Aggressive Players
Former US Open champion Sloane Stephens and Kazakhstani veteran Yulia Putintseva will face off in the first round of the 2024 French Open, marking their eighth career matchup.
Putintseva, ranked 30th in the world, has a 4-3 record against Stephens, but the American has emerged victorious in their last two encounters. Both players are known for their aggressive play styles, which could lead to an entertaining clash on the clay courts of Roland Garros.
Stephens, the 2017 French Open runner-up, will be looking to make a deep run in this year's tournament after a disappointing performance last year. Putintseva, meanwhile, is seeking her first Grand Slam title after reaching the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2023.
