Frech is the Polish number three behind Iga Świątek and Magda Linette, but far less well known than the other two, mainly because she spends most of her time on the junior tours.
She has won two recent tournaments, clinching the 125k Series title, the Thoreau Open in the USA in August on hard courts, and earlier this month, a clay court title in Prague.
