CD, Eric Salliot has a tweet suggesting that Clothilde de Bernardi is the first Frenchwoman to reach the FQR at RG since 2009. Is that correct?
I was surprised to see this too, but after checking on Wikipedia, it's correct. Yulia Fedossova made it to the FQR in 2009, and no other French women have made it that far until now.
Looks like JoKo's match might be starting only after every other match scheduled for the day has finished, following several marathons on Court 7. Her match preceded by 2 matches featuring French men.
