L’Open the Caen (Calvados) experiences a last minute twist with the forfait inattendu de Dayana Yastremska33rd player in the world. The organizers of the Normandy tournament have just announced it this Wednesday, December 4, 2024. The Ukrainian, who was considered one of the favorites of this 17th editionwill not set foot on the court of the Normandy tournament.

A concern about his entry into the Limoges tournament

Indeed, she will participate in the WTA tournament in Limoges. While she was initially scheduled to enter the competition on Tuesday December 10 in Limoges, following the Caen Open, this could take place as early as Monday December 9, i.e. the day of the final in Caen. “The management of the Caen Open therefore made the decision, by mutual agreement with the player, to cancel her participation.”

A choice replacement, and a first for the Open

To fill this void, the organizers reacted quickly announcing the arrival of theAmerican Bernarda Pera74th in the WTA rankings. This participation marks a first in the history of the tournament, which welcomes for the first time a player from the United States.

Bernarda Pera does not arrive in Caen empty-handed. With five singles titles to her credit and a round of 16 at Roland-Garros in 2023, the American has solid arguments to shine on the Normandy courts. Currently the 12th best American player on the circuit, Pera will be keen to make an impression and why not, to win the tournament on December 9.

An expected first match

For his entry into the running, Bernarda Pera will face Audrey Albiérecent winner of the Caen Open qualifying tournament. This meeting is already shaping up to be a highlight of the competition, pitting the international experience of the American against the enthusiasm of the Périgourdine.
