Biography
Françoise Abanda (born February 5, 1997 in Montréal, Québec, Canada) is a Canadian professional tennis player. She reached her highest WTA singles ranking of No. 111 on October 9, 2017 and her highest WTA doubles ranking of No. 197 on September 8, 2014. She achieved a career high junior rank of No. 4 on April 29, 2013. She reached the semifinals of the junior Wimbledon in 2012. Also in 2012, she won the G1 tournament in Repentigny, becoming only the second Québécoise (after Eugenie Bouchard in 2011), and fourth Canadian to win the title there. In 2014, Abanda won her first professional singles title with a victory over compatriot Heidi El Tabakh at the ITF 25K in Port St. Lucie. At the 2014 French Open, she advanced to her second junior Grand Slam semifinal. At the 2014 US Open, she qualified for her first Grand Slam after losing only six games in the three rounds. She lost to world No. 27 Sabine Lisicki in the first round. Abanda qualified for the 2017 French Open for the first time in her career and defeated local Tessah Andrianjafitrimo in the opening round. She lost to world No. 12 Caroline Wozniacki in her next match. The next month at Wimbledon, she qualified for her second straight Grand Slam main draw and won her first round match over world No. 94 Kurumi Nara. She was defeated by reigning French Open champion and world No. 13 Jeļena Ostapenko in the second round in three sets. Also in 2017 at the Coupe Banque Nationale, Abanda reached her first WTA quarterfinal defeating Asia Muhammad and world No. 74 Varvara Lepchenko respectively in the first two rounds, before falling to world No. 63 Tímea Babos.
Abanda started playing tennis at age 7, after her elder-by-three-years sister Élisabeth started playing two years earlier. She has been a member of Tennis Canada's National Training Centre in Montréal since 2009. Her parents, Blaise Abanda and Cicle Assono Ahibena, are from Cameroon. Her sister Élisabeth also played tennis professionally and studied at Barry University.
