Bulgarian tennis player Viktoriya Tomova scored the first French Open women’s doubles win in her career on Wednesday. She and Rebecca Sramkova of Slovakia knocked out Americans Quinn Gleason and Katie Volynets 7-5 6-2 after 89 minutes of play.

They thus advanced to the second round, where they will face Maya Joint (Australia) and Oksana Kalashnikova (Georgia).

Bulgaria’s highest-ranked female tennis player is in the French Open doubles for the third consecutive season. In 2023 and 2024 she dropped out after the first round. Sramkova, Gleason and Volynets debuted in the tournament’s doubles on Wednesday.

In the singles division, 30-year-old Tomova dropped out at the start on Monday after a two-set defeat at the hands of Veronika Kudermetova of Russia.
