She was beaten by Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the following round in another grueling three-setter. She lost her Madrid Open opener to Olga Danilovic in another match that went the distance.

Burel holds a 12-11 W/L record this season heading into her first-round match-up in Rome. She's never faced off against Osaka in professional competition and hence their head-to-head currently stands at 0-0.
