The Athletic has live coverage of Day 7 at the 2026 French OpenPARIS — Amanda Anisimova had pretty low expectations coming into the French Open. She met them Saturday, as she fell to home hope Diane Parry, who beat her 6-4, 4-6, 7-6(3) in a match that was close until the tiebreak, when Anisimova entirely lost control of her groundstrokes.On a hot afternoon on Court Philippe-Chatrier, Parry, 23, tortured Anisimova with high-bouncing forehands and sliced backhands. Both kept the ball well out of Anisimova’s strike zone, drawing dozens of errors from the 24-year-old American, a two-time Grand Slam finalist last year. When it was over, Parry had her first top-10 win, and some of the chaos that has taken over the men’s draw had seeped into the women’s.Anisimova was always going to come into this match cold. She has been managing an injury to her left wrist the past two months. The French Open was her first clay-court tournament of the season, and her first two matches in Paris didn’t give her much chance to play herself into form.She met little resistance in the first round against Tiantsoa Sarah Rakotomanga Rajaonah, a French wild card. In the second round, her opponent, Julia Grabner of Austria, retired after Anisimova won the first set 6-0. That gave her a little more than two hours of matchplay on clay before one of the toughest Grand Slam tests: Playing a match as a favorite against a French player on the country’s biggest court.
