With 5 US women thru the 2nd round at the French Open, will at least 2 make it thru the 4th round?

Of the five American women who advanced past the second round at Roland-Garros, none had won a fourth-round match by the May 30 resolution date. Coco Gauff, the defending champion and fourth seed, was eliminated in the third round on May 30 by 28th-seeded Anastasia Potapova, 4-6, 7-6(1), 6-4 — the earliest exit for a defending Roland-Garros women’s champion since 2022. Sixth-seeded Amanda Anisimova also fell in the third round, losing to French player Diane Parry in three sets.
Naomi Osaka and Madison Keys each won their third-round matches on May 30 to advance to the fourth round (round of 16), but neither had played a fourth-round match as of the resolution date. Only one American, Keys, remained as a significant contender. The community’s 93 percent YES prediction reflected confidence in the depth of the U.S. draw, but the back-to-back third-round exits of Gauff and Anisimova upended those expectations entirely.
