A few weeks ago, Francesca Curmi made history in becoming the first ever Maltese tennis player to qualify in a grand slam maind draw in the Juniors event of Roland Garros. She battled through the qualifying with an incredible first round win against WTA player 459 from Swiss, and swept through the second round and into the main draw!

Massive win for Francesca Curmi 🇲🇹 against Leonie Kung 🇨🇭 ranked 459 in the WTA world rankings. This is one of Francesca’s biggest wins ever and we wish her luck in the last round of Qualies tomorrow 💪 #asciaktennisacademy #tennis #rolandgarros #rolandgarros2018 #grandslam #itfjuniors @francesca_curmi @mattasciak
