French Open 2025

Location: Roland Garros, May 25 – June

Aryna Sabalenka, the reigning world no. 1, defeated Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen to reach the French Open semi-finals.

On a gloomy Court Phillippe Chatrier, Sabalenka defeated China’s Zheng 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 to claim her first Paris title.

The Belarusian, who arguably holds the title, had to recover from a set-record break but displayed all of her fighting prowess.

“That was a real battle,” Sabalenka said, “I have no idea how I was able to regain control of that first set.”

“I was prepared to leave everything on the court to win.”

Sabalenka’s improved serve and movement have paid off at Roland Garros, and she hasn’t given up on that feat.
