The Open Capfinances Rouen 2026 Entry List is set, and we could see a new champion crowned, as defending champion Elina Svitolina is not yet in the field.
That leaves the door wide open for players like Lois Boisson, Janice Tjen, and Sofia Kenin, all capable of making a run on clay, to step in and take control of the tournament.
With no returning champion and a balanced field behind them, Rouen sets up as one of the more unpredictable stops early in the clay-court swing.

Lois Boisson Returns With Real Clay Pedigree
Lois Boisson finally makes her long-awaited return after missing significant time with a left quad injury, and she’s not coming back as just another name in the draw.
Before the injury, Boisson was one of the hottest clay-court players on the lower tiers of the tour:
- 20–5 record on clay (last 52 weeks)
- French Open semifinal run
- Hamburg title
That’s serious production, and I want to see if her 2025 was real.
Sofia Kenin Searching for Answers Anywhere
Sofia Kenin is searching for answers right now, anywhere she can find them.
The 2020 French Open finalist comes into Rouen completely out of rhythm:
- Just 4–4 on clay in 2025
- Just snapped an 8-match losing streak at Charleston
On court, she’s not dictating points, and that’s a problem on clay. When she’s not in control, rallies get longer, and that’s when she begins spraying balls all over the venue.
Janice Tjen Needs to Prove It Wasn’t a Fluke
Janice Tjen burst onto the scene late last season and took the tour by storm, but now comes the hard part.
This year, the results haven’t followed:
- 5–10 overall record in 2026
- Currently on a 5-match losing streak
Now she heads into her first full clay swing with something to prove.
Opponents have seen her, adjusted, and now she has to adjust back. It’s the same test every young player faces after a breakout, and her results since have been mediocre at best.
