Hartono was already done with American Danielle Lao after just over 50 minutes, who did not give them a single game: 6-0 6-0. The 26-year-old tennis star, 165th in the world ranking, qualified for the Australian Open at the beginning of this year and made her debut at a grand slam tournament. Hartono got stuck in the qualifications at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
The 22-year-old De Jong also defeated the Frenchman Antoine Escoffier, the number 192 in the world, in two sets: 7-6 (4) 6-1. The North Hollander himself is in 212th place in the global ranking. Earlier this year, De Jong tried unsuccessfully to qualify for the Australian Open and Roland Garros.
