Currently engaged in Eastbourne WTA 250 which she will compete in the semi-finals on Friday, Varvara Gracheva had a high enough classification when Wimbledon stopped the list of participants to directly integrate the final table. The Bleues are half as many times as in 2024 on the starting line of the third Grand Chelem of the season.

Last Frenchman engaged in the third qualifying round, Kyrian Jacquet (151st) competes in the final table at the Portuguese Jaime Faria (117th). Even if he qualifies, the French contingent present in the first round of Wimbledon will be lower than the 14 Blues on the starting line in 2024.
