- No player outside the top 8 in the world has made the French Open final in the last ten years.
- Eight finals were contested by players both ranked in the top 5 in the world.
So finding an each way long shot to make the final outside of the world's top ten would have been largely fruitless.

For more in depth player stats take a look at the official WTA Tour website, the French Open Ladies Singles draw when available can be viewed on the official Roland Garros website.
French Open Ladies Singles Last Ten Winners
Here's a table showing the last ten French Open Ladies winners including the beaten finalist and set score:
| Year | Champion (WR) | Runner Up (WR) | Set Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Coco Gauff (2) | Aryna Sabalenka (1) | 2-1 |
| 2024 | Iga Swiatek (1) | Jasmine Paolini (15) | 2-0 |
| 2023 | Iga Swiatek (1) | Karolina Muchova (43) | 2-1 |
| 2022 | Iga Swiatek (1) | Coco Gauff (23) | 2-0 |
| 2021 | Barbora Krejcikova (33) | A. Pavlyuchenkova (32) | 2-1 |
| 2020 | Iga Swiatek (54) | Sofia Kenin (6) | 2-0 |
| 2019 | Ashleigh Barty (8) | Marketa Vondrousova (38) | 2-0 |
| 2018 | Simona Halep (1) | Sloane Stephens (10) | 2-1 |
| 2017 | Jelena Ostapenko (47) | Simona Halep (4) | 2-1 |
| 2016 | Garbine Muguruza (4) | Serena Williams (1) | 2-0 |
Coco Gauff won her first French Open title in 2025 and was her second major victory after securing the US Open in 2023.
Interesting to note the better ranked player of the two finalists has won only five of the last ten finals.
We have seen Jelena Ostapenko win in 2017 ranked just inside the top 50, Marketa Vondrousova make the final in 2019 when ranked just inside the top 40 and 2020 saw world number 54 Iga Swiatek (now a four time French Open winner) stun the tennis world with a straight sets win over Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin. The 2021 final saw Barbora Krejcikova ranked 33 defeat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova ranked 32.
- Predicting the finalists has been a little tricky with just three of the last ten finals contested by two players in the current top ten in the world. Although the top two in the world fought out the 2025 final (as in the Mens draw too.)
