The draw has been confirmed for 2025 Rouen Open known as Open Capfinances Rouen Métropole for sponsorship reasons and takes place between April 14-20, 2025 in France.

Originally a WTA 125 tournament that took place in October, the Rouen Open transitioned to a spring WTA 250 tournament in 2024. In its inaugural edition last year, Sloane Stephens captured the title.

Stephens does not return this year but it is a stellar cast despite another leading withdrawal. Despite not formally being announced, Emma Raducanu will not play this next week. Albeit the writing was on the wall when she withdrew from Billie Jean King Cup citing a need for a break and a training block.

The latter alluding to the fact she wouldn't play Rouen as she initially aimed to dip down the tour for the first time since Singapore earlier this season. Seemingly designed to give her reps ahead of the clay court season, she had a good Sunshine Double so is taking more time out ahead of Rome, Madrid and Roland Garros.
