Overview
- Coco Gauff, the 2025 champion, was beaten by Anastasia Potapova in three sets on Saturday, May 30, and her early exit is expected to cost her several places in the WTA rankings.
- Iga Swiatek lost in the last 16 to Marta Kostyuk, who extended a 15-match winning streak on clay and reached her first Roland Garros quarterfinal.
- Anastasia Potapova’s victory over Gauff sends her into the next round to face Anna Kalinskaya.
- Aryna Sabalenka produced a commanding third-round win over Daria Kasatkina and enters the later rounds as a leading favourite amid the volatile draw.
- Several top names have fallen early and Carlos Alcaraz is absent with injury, a combination that has opened clear opportunities for lower-ranked players to make deep runs at Roland Garros.
