In the second-round match (quarterfinal), she lost to France's No. 1, Diane Parry. The match lasted 1 hour and 57 minutes and ended with a score of 4-6, 6-7 in favor of her opponent. For Oleynikova, this start was her last before the autumn's main event — the US Open. ### Match progression and key statistics During the match, both players traded break points, but it was Parry's edge in the key moments that proved decisive. According to the final match report, Oleksandra Oleynikova hit one ace, committed one double fault, and converted five break points. Diane Parry, for her part, recorded two aces, made three service errors, and won six break points — it was this advantage on return that determined the outcome of both sets, including the tie-break in the second. Final score: 4-6, 6-7. ### Second defeat in the head-to-head Monterrey was the second meeting between these two players, and as in the first case, Parry emerged as the winner. Previously, France's No. 1 had beaten Oleynikova at Wimbledon 2025. Thus, the French player leads 2-0 in the head-to-head, which makes any future meetings in Grand Slam draws an additional factor for the Ukrainian. ### Ukrainians in Monterrey and preparation for the US Open After Oleynikova's loss in Monterrey, only Yuliia Starodubtseva remained from Ukraine, having managed to get past the quarterfinal stage and continue her fight for the title. Meanwhile, the American season also marks other achievements for Ukrainian tennis: earlier, Veronika Podrez qualified for the US Open for the first time in her career. Oleynikova's next tournament will be the 2026 US Open, whose main draw matches begin on August 30. ### Contradictory data When cross-checking versions across sources, two discrepancies were identified that are important to note. First, the stage of the match is named differently: in the main text it is called the "quarterfinal," while in the headlines of specialized publications the designation "R2" / "2nd round" is used. In a 32-player main draw of a WTA 500, these formulations are equivalent (second round = round of 16), so there is no contradiction in substance, but the terminology differs. Second, the fact of the previous meeting at Wimbledon 2025 and Parry's win is confirmed only by the main source and is not independently corroborated in the other verified materials, so this detail is presented with a caveat. ### What's next For Oleksandra Oleynikova, the off-season between Monterrey and New York will be a time to prepare for the 2026 US Open. The tournament's main draw opens on August 30, and it is there that the Ukrainian will attempt to break her streak of two losses to Diane Parry and return to the ranks of contenders for a deep run in the American Slam. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Oleynikova loses to France's No. 1 at the WTA tournament in Monterrey](https://sport.rbc.ua/ukr/tennis/oliynikova-postupilas-pershiy-rakettsi-frantsiyi-1787736606.html) - Первичный источник: счет 4:6, 6:7, длительность 1:57, статистика эйсов/двойных/брейков, статус Парри как первой ракетки Франции, оставление Стародубцевой в турнире, старт US Open 30 августа. - [Monterrey (WTA). 2nd round.
