Dana Mathewson, David Wagner to compete at historic French Open wheelchair event

In the women's draw, Mathewson opens against Chile's Macarena Cabrillana with the winner to face No. 3 seed Aniek van Koot of the Netherlands. Both Americans are also in their respective doubles draws; Wagner and Great Britain's Andy Lapthorne, seeded No. 2, open against Silva and Australia's Heath Davidson, while Mathewson and her British partner Lucy Shuker face Japan's Momoko Ohtani and China's Zhu Zhenzhen.

Mathewson and Wagner each come into the French Open in form after success last week at the Annecy International Open, a Series 1 event on the ITF UNIQLO Wheelchair Tour. Wagner won the quad singles title, his third this year and first on clay, while Mathewson and Shuker were the doubles runners-up. Wagner is bidding to win the quad doubles title for a fourth time in four editions of the event, having also been the quad singles runner-up in 2019. Mathewson was the first American woman to play in the French Open wheelchair event 12 months ago, where she lost her first match in each event. 

Mathewson is the first of the two players who'll take to the Roland Garros courts; she and Cabrillana will play their match on Tuesday.
