Only two French players advanced past the first round, highlighting the challenges faced by French women in major tournaments.

Lois Boisson, the world number 43, experienced a disheartening start to the French Open as she was ousted in the first round by Russia's Anna Kalinskaya, accentuating a year plagued by injuries and setbacks.

Despite having resumed competitive tennis only recently after a lengthy seven-month absence, Boisson expressed her persistent passion for the sport even though her comeback was marred by a lack of rhythm.

Her early exit was part of a broader disappointing performance by French women at the tournament, with only Elsa Jacquemot and Diane Parry advancing to the second round, marking a collective low point not seen since 1981.
