Diane Parry - People also ask

Diane Parry is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, a common choice on the professional tour for its year-round training conditions and central position between the European, Asian and American swings. She was born and raised in Nice, on the French Riviera, and still competes for France. Sources: Wikipedia, WTA.

She is French. Born in Nice on September 1, 2002, she came through the French federation system, was junior world No. 1 in 2019, and has represented France on the WTA Tour and in national team competition. Sources: WTA, Roland-Garros.

Diane Parry is 23 years old. She was born on September 1, 2002, so she turns 24 during the 2026 US Open fortnight. She turned professional as a teenager after topping the junior rankings in 2019. Sources: WTA, Wikipedia.

She is 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in), on the shorter side for the modern women's tour. She compensates with timing, court craft and variety rather than raw serve power, which is part of why her one-handed backhand and slice are so central to her game. Sources: WTA, ITF.

She reached a career-high world No. 47 on June 22, 2026 and has spent the second half of the season around the top 70. That is comfortably inside direct entry for Grand Slam main draws. In doubles she has been ranked around No. 300 in 2026. Sources: WTA, TennisDB.

Yes. She is in the US Open singles main draw, which begins on Sunday, August 30, 2026 at Flushing Meadows, and she is one of only two French women in that draw, a reflection of a thin period for French women's tennis. She is not seeded. Sources: Tennis Temple, usopen.org.

The fourth round at Roland-Garros in 2026, her best run at a major. She had previously reached the third round at the US Open in 2025 and the third round at Roland-Garros in 2022. Clay in Paris has consistently been her most productive surface. Sources: WTA, ESPN.

Two wins define her reputation. In the 2022 French Open first round she beat Barbora Krejcikova, the defending champion and then world No. 2. In 2026, again at Roland-Garros, she beat Amanda Anisimova, then world No. 6, on her way to the fourth round. She is a genuinely awkward first-week draw for a seed. Sources: WTA, Roland-Garros.

Yes, and it is her signature. She is one of very few players on the WTA Tour who plays a one-handed backhand, a shot that has almost disappeared from the women's game, and she mixes it with heavy slice to change rhythm. She is right-handed. Sources: WTA, Roland-Garros.

Not in singles at WTA Tour level. She has won two WTA doubles titles, both in 2023 (the Mérida Open and the Lausanne Open), and she has won the Trophée Clarins WTA 125 twice, including in 2026. Her career singles record stands at roughly 235 wins to 193 losses. Sources: WTA, Wikipedia.

Her coach is Martin Vilar. Parry came up through the French federation pathway in Nice and has worked with a small, stable team rather than the rotating set-ups common on tour. Sources: Wikipedia, WTA.

More than 3.36 million US dollars in career prize money as of 2026. Grand Slam main draws are the bulk of it: a first-round loss at a major now pays more than winning several smaller tournaments. Sources: WTA, Wikipedia.
