Of the 15 Australian hopefuls who started the week in the qualifying tournament at the French Open, only battle-hardened Daria Saville is still left in the hunt for one of the precious Roland Garros main draw places.
The 31-year-old battler had too much know-how on the Paris clay for a promising young Frenchwoman 15 years her junior, Daphnee Mpetshi-Perricard, in the second round of quallies as she eased through 6-2 6-1 on Thursday.
