A 45-year-old former world No. 1 is contemplating a return to the French Open next month, following her tenth consecutive singles match defeat at the Madrid Open. Despite the recent loss, she expressed a desire to compete on clay, regretting that other commitments prevented her from playing in Rome.
Her most recent tour victory was against Peyton Stearns in July 2025. Since then, she has experienced a series of losses in various tournaments, including Auckland, Hobart, the Australian Open, Austin, Indian Wells, and Miami. This Madrid appearance marked her return to the clay court after a significant break, with her last clay match being at the 2021 French Open.
