Olivia Gadecki and Astra Sharma will be out to double the Australian women's representation in the French Open main draw after setting up final qualifying matches at Roland Garros.

Amid a lean spell for the domestic women's game, only national number one Daria Saville has qualified directly through the rankings for Roland Garros.

Ajla Tomljanovic, battling back from injury, was also given a wildcard, thanks to the host French federation's reciprocal deal with Tennis Australia.

But in the cut-throat qualifying draw on the Roland Garros clay, rising star Gadecki and former WTA tournament winner Sharma both enjoyed their second wins of the week on Thursday (AEST) to set up third-round "finals''.

Perth's Sharma, whose Charleston Open triumph in 2021 came on clay, will face Olga Danilovic, the Serbian 11th qualifying seed, on Friday (AEST), with the winner earning a place in the 128-player main draw.
