The 2025 French Open women's draw has served up an explosive opening-round clash as four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka takes on World No. 10 Paula Badosa in what promises to be one of the most anticipated early matchups in Paris. (More Tennis News)
It marks the first-ever meeting between the two players, both of whom are on compelling comeback paths for different reasons.
Osaka, back in the main draw at Roland Garros after time away from the sport for injury recovery and motherhood, recently ended a four-year title drought by clinching the WTA 125 event in Saint-Malo.
Her straight-sets win over Kaja Juvan has bolstered confidence ahead of the Slam where she has traditionally struggled, having never advanced beyond the third round.
Badosa, on the other hand, has quietly rebuilt her form in 2025 after an injury-hit 2024. A semifinal run at the Australian Open earlier this year, including a win over Coco Gauff, underlined her clay-court credentials.
Though a back injury forced her out of Rome – where she was expected to meet Osaka – she returns to Paris seeking a deep run.
