Kimberly Birrell Finds Her Kylie Minogue Moment in Paris as Pegula Crashes Out of Roland Garros
For one set, Kimberly Birrell looked trapped in the wrong Netflix documentary about an Australian comeback. Not quite Kylie Minogue stating her singing was a five, perhaps, but something painfully close: a player standing on the red clay of Roland Garros, looking across at Jessica Pegula, and wondering whether the level was simply too far…

The French Open Story Everyone Skips: The Qualifiers Who Stole the First Round
Roland Garros has room for royalty, of course. Aryna Sabalenka opened with a 6-4, 6-2 win over Jessica Bouzas Maneiro. Coco Gauff finished Taylor Townsend off 6-4, 6-0. Victoria Mboko, still carrying that wonderful teenage electricity, swept Nikola Bartunkova aside 6-1, 6-2. That is what the top of the game is supposed to look like.…

Paris Started Throwing Luggage Into the Street but Swiatek, Rybakina and Anisimova Kept Driving
Roland Garros never needs much time to become itself. A few hours of first-round tennis, a little loose clay underfoot, a few players carrying too much form or too much doubt, and suddenly the women’s draw has already started shedding names. Iga Swiatek did what Iga Swiatek usually does in Paris. Elena Rybakina moved as…

With a Nation Breathing Down Her Neck, Zheng Qinwen Falls Apart in Roland Garros Shock
Paris used to glow for Zheng Qinwen. On Monday, it swallowed her whole. Back on the clay where she became Olympic champion, Zheng was beaten 6-4, 6-0 by qualifier Maja Chwalińska, broke down in tears afterwards and was left facing the brutal reality of a drop to world No. 119. For Zheng Qinwen, this was…

Svitolina Stares Down Bondar Curse and Escapes Roland Garros Thriller
Elina Svitolina came to Roland Garros with Rome still fresh in the legs and belief still warm in the hand. That usually makes a first-round draw feel a little less dangerous. Hungary’s Anna Bondar clearly had other ideas. For long stretches of this 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 win, Svitolina looked less like a player gliding on…
-

Is Jasmine Paolini Back? French Open Win Over Dangerous Yastremska Offers a Timely Answer
Jasmine Paolini did not get a soft landing in Paris. Not in the heat, not on the clay, and certainly not against Dayana Yastremska, one of those dangerous first-round opponents who can make a draw feel uncomfortable before a tournament has even settled. For Paolini, that made this 7-5, 6-3 win at Roland Garros feel…

French Open 2026 Women’s Super Tie-Break Rules: What Happens at 6-6 in the Final Set?
For anyone watching the women’s draw at the French Open 2026 and wondering what happens if a match goes all the way to 6-6 in the final set, the answer is simple: there is no old-style advantage set anymore. At Roland-Garros, a women’s singles match is still played as the best of three sets. But…

Marta Kostyuk Breaks Down After French Open Win as Kyiv Trauma Overshadows Roland Garros Return
Marta Kostyuk arrived at Roland Garros with the sort of form that should have made her opening match feel like a continuation of something thrilling. She was unbeaten on clay in 2026, already a champion in Rouen and Madrid, and back on court with the authority of a player who had taken the spring by…

Iga Swiatek Handed Nightmare French Open Draw As Svitolina and Kostyuk Lurk
Normally, it takes a while before an Iga Swiatek draw at Roland Garros starts looking uncomfortable. This one managed it almost immediately. Compared with Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina, Swiatek has landed in the most awkward quarter of the 2026 women’s draw. Not because one single opponent changes the whole picture, but because…
-

Karolina Pliskova’s Roland Garros Qualifying Run Ends as Marina Bassols Turns Paris Into a Grind
Karolina Pliskova is still a major name to find in a qualifying draw. A former world No. 1, a Wimbledon finalist and a Roland Garros semifinalist in 2017, she arrived in Paris with enough clay-court evidence this spring to make her dangerous: a quarterfinal in Madrid, a run to the last 16 in Rome and…

Roland Garros Women’s Predictions: Bookies Back Swiatek and Sabalenka, but Rybakina and Gauff Make the Stronger Case
Roland Garros predictions are rarely just about who looks strongest on paper. They are also about who the market believes in, who the data likes, and where the numbers may be missing something. So let us be clear from the start: this is not a betting article. RallyHer does not carry ads, does not carry…

Victoria Mboko Turns to Wim Fissette in Bold Coaching Trial Before Roland Garros
Victoria Mboko’s rise has already been sharp enough to make the rest of the WTA Tour glance over its shoulder. Now, before another major test in Paris, the Canadian appears to be adding one of the sport’s most travelled and decorated coaching minds to the operation. Mboko is set to play the Internationaux de Strasbourg…

Coco Gauff Supports Grand Slam Pressure Tactics as Prize Money Debate Intensifies Ahead of Roland Garros
The conversations surrounding Coco Gauff in Rome have not centred solely on tennis. Yes, there is the clay season, the pressure of defending major ranking points and the looming challenge of Roland Garros. But increasingly, the broader discussion around the WTA and ATP locker rooms keeps circling back to one issue: money, and how much…

WTA Clay Season Ranking Pressure Report: Sabalenka Leads As Gauff Faces Heavy Defence Before Roland Garros
The clay swing does not treat everyone equally. Some arrive with freedom, others with a ledger to protect. As the WTA Tour shifts towards Roland Garros, the ranking landscape tells its own story — one shaped less by current form than by what still needs to be defended. At the top, stability prevails. Just a…

Aryna Sabalenka’s 2025: No.1 All Year, Two Titles in the States, and the Fine Art of Not Folding
Aryna Sabalenka spent 2025 doing the hardest thing in tennis: staying on top while everyone takes their best swing at you. She played the season as world No.1, carried the bullseye everywhere, and still made finals on every surface that matters. The year was not flawless, but it was power with maturity, and it delivered…
-

Iga Swiatek’s 2025: A Wimbledon Crown, a Paris Fall, and the Strange Shape of No.2
Iga Swiatek spent 2025 living in the penthouse without quite owning it. She delivered the year’s most ruthless scoreline on the sport’s biggest lawn, lifted a hard-court title, and still watched her season repeatedly slip sideways at the moments when she normally tightens the screws. For a player built on control, 2025 was oddly full…
-

Coco Gauff’s 2025: Peaks on Clay, Silence Elsewhere, and a Season Salvaged Late
Coco Gauff began 2025 as world No.3, a fixture of the elite and a player expected to press hard on the very biggest prizes. What followed was a season of sharp contrasts. Before the clay swing, she went missing. After it, the pattern repeated. In between came her most convincing stretch of tennis, capped by…

Loïs Boisson’s 2025: The French Meteor No One Saw Coming
Loïs Boisson began 2025 ranked No.230 — a talented 22-year-old, but an anonymous name on the ITF treadmill, grinding for points far from any spotlight. By May she had slipped to No.513, an almost unbelievable number for a player who would finish the year inside the Top 40. When she stepped onto the clay of…

Elina Svitolina Ends 2025 Season: On Balance, the Heights Outweighed the Lows
World number 13 Elina Svitolina has ended her 2025 season early to prioritize her mental health.

In a sizzling clash between a reborn Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek, it was 5-0 in favor of the Kazakh within just 20 minutes. Her serve was firing on all cylinders, and she attacked the Pole’s serve as if it were target practice — this was a rocket assault of the highest order from Rybakina.…
