Madison Keys withdraws from Paris Challenger final, raising doubts ahead of French Open

American Madison Keys retired from the WTA 125 Paris Challenger final after winning the first set 6‑3 and trailing 3‑3 in the second, citing a thigh injury. The match was hampered by rain and scheduling disruptions. Keys had entered the event seeking clay‑court preparation following an early exit from the Italian Open and illness‑related limitations at the Madrid Open.

Her withdrawal fuels concern over her fitness for the upcoming Roland Garros, where she is seeded 19th and the main draw begins on May 24. The injury adds to an already inconsistent season for the former Australian Open champion.
