After two good qualifying round wins, she needed to win one more round to get into the main event but the 29-year-old French player Stephanie Foretz Gacon had too much experience for her and won 6-1, 6-1.

Ranked 182 and with more than $1m. in career winnings, Foretz Gacon was seeded seventh in the qualifiers.
