Summary

Katie Boutler looks to bounce back from an injury-suspended season as she takes on Carole Monnet in the French Open. The British No 1, aiming for her first Grand Slam singles title, emphasized that being ranked No 1 is a privilege rather than her goal, focusing instead on improving her ranking beyond that position. She faces a tough opponent in Monnet, who reached the main draw as a French wildcard after winning three qualifying sets. The match marks their first head-to-head at this level of competition.
