Claire Liu, a Southern California native, last came to Roland-Garros on a significant winning streak in 2017, when she was a junior player. That year, she won back-to-back 25k titles in Italy before surging into the girls' final at the French Open.
In the final, Liu faced fellow American Whitney Osuigwe. Liu won the match 6-4, 6-4 to claim the girls' singles title. This victory marked a high point in her junior career.
Liu turned professional later that year. As of May 2026, she continues to compete on the WTA Tour, with her career-high singles ranking of No. 82 achieved in 2023.
