Overview
- The Rome WTA 1000 draw Monday matched France’s No. 1 Loïs Boisson with Katerina Siniakova in a first-round test.
- The 43rd-ranked 2025 Roland-Garros semifinalist is playing her second event back after nearly seven months out, following a 6-1, 6-3 loss to Peyton Stearns in Madrid.
- She says she has finally completed two-hour sessions at full intensity for the first time in months, though her right wrist still limits how long she can play.
- She skipped a lower-tier event between Madrid and Rome, saying it made no sense to compete at 50%, and she may enter the Parma WTA 125 next week if her Rome run ends early.
- With 780 ranking points to defend in Paris from last year’s semifinal, her clay build-up in Rome could shape her seeding and confidence for Roland-Garros.
