After her time in Strasbourg, the Spanish player kicks off at Roland Garros, where Osaka awaits: "If my back is fine, I'm not worried about the opponent".
The American recalled the final of Roland Garros 2022, where she was unable to compete against Iga: "That defeat helped me win the US Open later on".
We have had to wait almost five full months to see a new champion on the 2025 WTA calendar. While the men's list keeps growing, in the women's category it had to be Maya Joint who inaugurated the season. In addition, in a final where she was facing Jaqueline Cristian, who was also aiming to start her collection of titles. The victory finally went to the 19-year-old Australian, champion of the WTA 250 in Rabat after an impeccable match (6-3, 6-2). Success will be accompanied by a corresponding rise in the rankings (+25), leaving her just three positions away from breaking into the top 50 worldwide. What a bright future this girl has!

While we were celebrating the high participation of Spanish tennis players in this Roland Garros 2025 – thirteen Spaniards in the individual category, nine men and four women – we can't say the same about the doubles draws. After the pairs for the discipline were drawn, it's striking that only five of ours have signed up for this adventure. Pedro Martínez and Jaume Munar will join forces once again with the dream of the Davis Cup in mind, while the duo formed by Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos will also be there. In the women's category, Jessica Bouzas will team up with the French player Gracheva, and Cristina Bucsa will do the same with the Italian player Moratelli.

At 35 years old and currently outside the top thousand in the rankings, it was natural for Yanina Wickmayer to announce – if that was her wish – her retirement from professional tennis. The Belgian, who once reached the top 12 of the rankings back in 2010, shared on her social media that this final chapter will come this summer at Wimbledon, one of the four Grand Slams that grace the calendar. It's always sad to hear news like this, but now is the time to celebrate and appreciate how challenging it is to have a career like hers, with five individual titles under her belt and that legendary semifinal at the 2009 US Open.

It has been too long since Ons Jabeur was in the spotlight, and many believe her best days are behind her. Serious injuries, struggles to regain confidence, mental stagnation due to missed opportunities... A fatal cocktail for a player who will continue to search for herself at Roland Garros 2025. "I always demand a lot of myself, although right now my confidence isn't very high. I know I have the necessary game to perform at the highest level, but I need to make a breakthrough, a turning point. All I can say is that I'm giving 100% of my effort in every training session, I have nothing to reproach myself for," she concluded.

The Australian Open champion arrives at Roland Garros without expectations for the trophy and tired of being asked how her life has changed since the big triumph in Melbourne: "I don't think much has changed in my life, except for more interview requests, more people wanting to talk to me," said Madison Keys on Media Day. "I've already had a successful career. Everyone expected one thing: the Grand Slam. I don't think that has changed much. For me, it's just a shift in mindset. It's funny that I've had the same goal throughout my career and finally achieved it. Then I had to sit down and shift my mentality, but I did it. Now, for the first time, we have to realign and set new goals."
