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.

2015

In 2015, Rogers played in all four Grand Slam main draws for the first time in her career, reaching the 3rd round at the U.S. Open.

Although she missed the Australian Open due to injury, Rogers began the year strongly by reaching her second career WTA final, losing to Francesca Schiavone at the Rio Open on clay in February.

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. With this run, she also rose to a career high ranking inside the Top 60.
