Michael Mmoh wins U.S. men's Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge

The women's challenge enters its final week with a new leader and plenty of players still in the running. Taylor Townsend vaulted to first place by winning the singles title at the USTA Pro Circuit W100 event in Charleston, S.C., this past week, only her third tournament back after a nearly two-year hiatus and the birth of her son. The race will likely be decided by results this week at the USTA Pro Circuit W100 event in Bonita Springs, Fla., where second-place Katie Volynets, fourth-place CoCo Vandeweghe and fifth-place Whitney Osuigwe are all competing.

1. Taylor Townsend - 183

2. Katie Volynets - 174

3. Louisa Chirico - 167

4. CoCo Vandeweghe - 115

5. Whitney Osuigwe - 71

Dating back to 2012, the Roland Garros Wild Card Challenge returned this spring for the first time since 2019, and the USTA and FFT have a reciprocal agreement in which main-draw wild cards for the 2022 French Open and US Open will be exchanged. The USTA has previously utilized this format to award wild cards into the Australian, French and US Opens, and this is the second such Challenge to be contested since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The Australian Open Wild Card Challenge was contested last fall, and won by Stefan Kozlov, who reached the second round in Melbourne in January, and UCLA alumna Robin Anderson.
