Two major upsets on Saturday at Roland Garros 2026 have reshaped the women's draw and ensured that at least one semifinalist will rank outside the top 20. Diane Parry eliminated Amanda Anisimova, while Anastasia Potapova defeated defending champion Coco Gauff in the quarterfinals, according to Puntodebreak.
How the upsets unfolded
Parry advanced past Anisimova in their quarterfinal matchup, while Potapova toppled the tournament's defending champion in a separate upset. Both results came on the same day and marked significant departures from seeding expectations.
What's next for the semifinalists
Parry will face Maja Chwalinska in the semifinals, while Potapova will meet Anna Kalinskaya. Both Parry and Potapova will be competing in their first Grand Slam semifinals, making Saturday's victories career milestones for the pair.
The women's draw at Roland Garros will now feature at least one unseeded or lowly-ranked semifinalist, continuing a trend of competitive depth at the clay-court Grand Slam.
