Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka will make history at Roland Garros 2026 as the first women's match to be played in a nighttime session of the French Grand Slam since 2023. In that year, Sabalenka herself faced Stephens in a night match, while the first time two women were scheduled for that session was in 2022 with Serena Williams and Alizé Cornet.
