Big wins and bold upsets fuel a thrilling final eight at the 2025 Roland Garros.
As the dust settles on a Round of 16 that delivered pure chaos, the 2025 French Open barrels into a quarterfinal lineup shaped by upsets, rivalries, and full-throttle drama. In case you missed it, here’s a quick recap of how the final eight were decided.
Aryna Sabalenka finally flipped the script on Amanda Anisimova in a rivalry that had long tilted against her. Iga Swiatek edged ahead in her tied head-to-head with Elena Rybakina, while Elina Svitolina sent shockwaves through the draw by taking out Jasmine Paolini.
Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva stunned Daria Kasatkina, and Madison Keys backed up her Australian Open win by toppling fellow American Hailey Baptiste. But the biggest earthquake came from home soil as wild card and national hope Lois Boisson ousted third seed Jessica Pegula in a jaw-dropping stunner destined for French Open folklore.
Now, with only eight players left standing, the quarterfinal matchups are set and they just might outdo the havoc we’ve already seen.
The final eight features a powerhouse lineup stacked with top seeds Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Mirra Andreeva, Madison Keys, and Qinwen Zheng, joined by the battle-tested Elina Svitolina and home-crowd sensation Lois Boisson.
The quarterfinal schedule is as follows:
Tuesday, June 03:
Top seed Aryna Sabalenka returns to action on June 3 at the 2025 Roland Garros, set for a high-stakes showdown with eighth seed Qinwen Zheng. The Belarusian holds a commanding 6-1 edge in their head-to-head, though Zheng earned her breakthrough win this season, ousting Sabalenka in straight sets during the Rome quarterfinals.
