Coco Gauff did not repeat as French Open champion. Her title defense ended on May 30 in the third round, where she lost to 28th-seeded Anastasia Potapova of Austria, 4-6, 7-6(1), 6-4, on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The defeat was the earliest exit for a defending Roland-Garros women's champion since Barbora Krejcikova was eliminated in the first round in 2022.
Gauff, the fourth seed and a two-time Grand Slam singles champion, entered the tournament following a finalist appearance at the Italian Open, where she also fell in the final two weeks earlier. In her post-match press conference she noted she had lost in a similar fashion at both Rome and Paris. Potapova, a two-time WTA title holder, had not previously advanced beyond the third round at Roland-Garros. With Gauff's exit, Madison Keys became the highest-profile American women remaining in the singles draw.
