Rogers earned another wild card into the main draw of the 2013 French Open three years later by winning the Har-Tru USTA Pro Circuit Wild Card Challenge. With the wild card, she won her first career Grand Slam match over Irena Pavlovic.

She finished 2014 ranked inside the Top 100 at No. 72.

At the French Open, she continued her success on clay by becoming the first American other than Serena Williams to reach the quarterfinals since Venus Williams in 2006.[3] Along the way, she defeated three seeded players including No. 12 Petra Kvitová.
