She broke this streak at the women's singles qualifying for the French Open, where she won her first two matches against Viktoriya Tomova and Antonia Lottner. She lost the last qualifying match against compatriot Quirine Lemoine in three sets, despite having a match point.
Rus received a wildcard for the 2017 Ricoh Open, a WTA International tournament hosted in her homeland. This was her first grass-court tournament since 2014. In the first round, she upset 36-ranked Timea Babos in a three setter. She won her second-round match against Andrea Hlaváčková, in straight sets. In the quarterfinals, she lost to eventual runner-up Natalia Vikhlyantseva, in straight sets. This performance marked Rus's first wins at WTA-level since the 2013 Gastein Ladies where she also reached the quarterfinals.[10] This also marked the first time Rus won a main-draw grass-court match since the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. As a result, Rus moved up 25 spots in the WTA rankings from world No. 183 to 158, her highest ranking in almost three years.

Notes
- 1 The first Premier 5 event of the year has switched back and forth between the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Qatar Total Open since 2009. Dubai was classified as a Premier 5 event from 2009–2011 before being succeeded by Doha for the 2012–2014 period. In 2015, Dubai regained its Premier 5 status while Doha was demoted to Premier status. The two tournaments have since alternated status every year.
- 2 In 2014, the Toray Pan Pacific Open was downgraded to a Premier event and replaced by the Wuhan Open.
