PARIS (Reuters) - Slovenia's Tamara Zidansek will break into the world's top 50 on Monday following her semi-final run at the French Open and will leave Paris with the confidence that she can compete against the top players on the biggest stage.

The 23-year-old was ranked 85th and had never won a main draw match at the French Open when she took the court against former U.S. Open champion Bianca Andreescu in the first round.
