Against Mirra Andreeva in the French Open, Gauff was up against a 16-year-old opponent, who is three years her junior. Fortunately, Gauff recovered from a tough first set to return to the fourth round with a 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-1 victory. Although she finished as runner-up in last year’s French Open, she returned in poor form. The fourth seed, Elena Rybakina, withdrew from her third-round match against Sara Sorribes Tormo due to illness. Iga Swiatek, the top seed, is the tournament favourite as she defeated Wang Xinyu of China 6-0, 6-0 in 51 minutes to reach the fourth round, double-bagelling an opponent at the French Open for the second time this clay court season.
