Accessed 29 July 2022.</ref> She also won the [[Le Chambon-sur-Lignon|Chambon-sur-Lignon Open]] in 2004.

Rezaï started playing for France in 2006. For the second year in a row, she lost in the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open. Her French Open run was more successful, where she struggled through to the tournament's third round, defeating [[Ai Sugiyama]] of Japan along the way. She fell to [[Nicole Vaidišová]] of the Czech Republic, in a hard-fought three-setter. At [[The Championships, Wimbledon|Wimbledon]],  she fell in the first qualifying round. At the [[2006 US Open (tennis)|US Open]], she reached the fourth round, her career-best [[Grand Slam (tennis)|major]] singles result. She also competed on the ITF Circuit throughout the year, reaching the final of two tournaments and winning one in the later part of the year on the hardcourts of France.

Her 2007 year started poorly, reaching the second round only twice in her first 13 tournaments on tour, including a first-round loss at the Australian Open. At the [[İstanbul Cup|WTA Tour clay tournament]] of Istanbul, Rezaï reached the final by beating world No. 29, [[Venus Williams]], in the second round, and world No. 2, [[Maria Sharapova]], in the semifinal. In the final, she lost to [[Elena Dementieva]] due to retiring, trailing 6–7, 0–3.

Despite her good performance in İstanbul, she lost the week after 2–6, 4–6 to fellow French [[Marion Bartoli]] in the first round of the [[2007 French Open|French Open]]. In her first appearance in [[Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], she defeated [[Shenay Perry]] from the U.S. and [[Francesca Schiavone]], the 29th seed, in the second round, in three sets. However, in the third round, she was defeated by [[Ana Ivanovic]] in straight sets. At the [[2007 US Open (tennis)|US Open]] in the second round, she once again lost to Ivanovic. She ended an appalling year with yet another [[ITF Women's Circuit|ITF]] title in Deauville, France, losing only one set en route to her victory.

Despite being unseeded, Rezaï reached the final of the [[2008 ASB Classic|Auckland Open]] which she lost to [[Lindsay Davenport]]. However, her year stagnated with early losses in the first and second rounds of tournaments, and her only other grand success came on the clay of Morocco in mid-spring, where she reached the semifinals before falling to [[Gisela Dulko]].

At the Australian Open, Rezaï reached the third round, beating 13th seed [[Tatiana Golovin]] in the second round 6–3, 3–6, 6–3, before losing to [[Hsieh Su-wei]], also in three sets. Her major results for the rest of the year were disappointing. At the French Open, she fell to [[Nadia Petrova]] in the first round. At Wimbledon, she faced Gisela Dulko and pushed her to three sets but eventually fell 6–1, 0–6, 2–6. The US Open started well as she defeated [[Asia Muhammad]] in straight sets. However, she fell in the second round to [[Sybille Bammer]], 1–6, 5–7.

===2009===
Rezaï won the first career title in [[2009 Internationaux de Strasbourg|Strasbourg]], beating [[Lucie Hradecká]] in the final. Despite a first-round loss at the Australian Open, she flew to the fourth round of the French Open, after defeating [[Michelle Larcher de Brito]], but lost to world No. 1 [[Dinara Safina]] 1–6, 0–6, effectively putting an end to her participation in Roland Garros. At [[2009 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon]], she beat [[Ayumi Morita]] 6–2, 6–2 but then lost to fourth seed Elena Dementieva 1–6, 3–6.

In the first round of [[2009 Rogers Cup|Rogers Cup]], she defeated [[Alizé Cornet]] in two sets. In the second round, she made the biggest upset of the tournament by defeating world No. 1, Dinara Safina, in three sets. In the third round, she was defeated by [[Alisa Kleybanova]] in two sets. Rezaï then lost at the US Open to [[Sabine Lisicki]] in the first round, her earliest loss ever at Flushing Meadows.
At the [[Pan Pacific Open]] in Tokyo, Rezaï won her opening match in straight sets, defeating Sara Errani 6–2, 6–2. In the second round, she easily lost to Marion Bartoli.

Seeded tenth at the [[2009 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions|Tournament of Champions]], Rezaï won her first [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] match against fourth seed Sabine Lisicki, then beat [[Melinda Czink]] in her second match to make her the first player to advance to the semifinals of the inaugural event. She then went on to the semifinals where she beat [[María José Martínez Sánchez]] 6–2, 6–3. In the final, she faced Marion Bartoli and won the first set 7–5 before Bartoli retired. Because of her performance, Rezaï reached a new career-high of world No. 26.

===2010===
[[File:Aravane_Rezai_2010_(cropped).jpg|thumb|Rezaï in 2010]]
Her first tournament of the year was the [[2010 ASB Classic|Auckland Open]], where she was seeded No. 7. In the first round, she beat countrymaid [[Julie Coin]] 6–4, 6–3. At the match point, the lights in the stadium went out, but they were fixed shortly after and Rezaï closed out the match. In the second round, she was defeated by [[Dominika Cibulková]].

Her next tournament was the [[Sydney International]]. Rezaï won her first-round match against [[Anna-Lena Grönefeld]] in three sets, then faced [[Ágnes Szávay]], whom she defeated in two. In the quarterfinals, she beat [[Flavia Pennetta]] 6–3, 6–0; in the semifinal she faced world No. 1, [[Serena Williams]]. She began strong, leading in the match by 6–3, 5–2, and was two points away from victory, but ended up losing 6–3, 5–7, 4–6.

Rezaï was seeded No. 26 for the Australian Open. She won her first-round match against [[Sania Mirza]] but was then defeated in the second round by [[Angelique Kerber]]. In the doubles draw she partnered with Sabine Lisicki, but they lost in the first round.

Her next tournament was the [[2010 Open GDF Suez|Open GdF Suez]], where she was seeded No. 5. She won her first-round match against qualifier [[Evgeniya Rodina]], 6–4, 6–4. In the second round, she faced [[Andrea Petkovic]], getting upset 6–3, 3–6, 6–3 and spoiling her chance to play Elena Dementieva in the quarterfinals.

At the [[2010 Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open|Madrid Open]], Rezaï caused a huge upset in the first round, defeating former world No. 1 and four-time French Open champion, [[Justine Henin]], 4–6, 7–5, 6–0. In the second round, she won her match against [[Klára Zakopalová]], then defeated Andrea Petkovic in two sets. Rezaï pulled off a major fourth-round upset by defeating [[Jelena Janković]] in two straight sets. In the semifinal, she won against [[Lucie Šafářová]] reaching the most critical final in her career. She defeated Venus Williams in the final 6–2, 7–5, returning from a 2–5 deficit and overcoming numerous set points to win. Because of her performance at Madrid, Rezaï reached a new career-high ranking as No. 16. Seeded 15th at the [[2010 French Open|French Open]], Rezaï fell to No. 19 [[Nadia Petrova]] in the third round in three sets.

On grass, Rezaï played at the [[2010 Aegon Classic|Birmingham Classic]], cruising through the semifinals without dropping a set, but fell to eventual champion [[Li Na]] in three sets. She then played at the [[2010 Aegon International|Eastbourne International]], where she upset top seed [[Caroline Wozniacki]] in the first round, before retiring against [[María José Martínez Sánchez]] in the second, down 6–2, 3–0. At the [[2010 Wimbledon Championships|Wimbledon Championships]], as the 18th seed, she was upset by [[Klára Zakopalová]] in the second round.

At the [[2010 Swedish Open|Swedish Open]], Rezaï cruised through the finals with wins over [[Arantxa Parra Santonja]] and Lucie Šafářová, finally facing Gisela Dulko. Rezaï won 6–3, 4–6, 6–4, despite giving up a 4–0 lead in the third set.

At the [[2010 Western & Southern Open|Cincinnati Open]], Rezaï was upset by world No. 98, [[Bojana Jovanovski]]; even though she had "breathtaking" strokes, her serve was erratic with a high number of unforced errors.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/sports/tennis/news/story?id=5449638 "Jelena Janković, Kim Clijsters tune up"], 9 August 2010.</ref><ref>[https://www.espn.com/ Profile] sports.espn.go.com; retrieved 24 August 2010.</ref>

Her disappointing level of play continued until the end of her season, as she lost in the first round of the [[2010 Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions|Tournament of Champions]]. She won the title in 2009 but now lost to [[Alisa Kleybanova]] in the first round 1–6, 2–6.

==Political support==
Rezaï told the [[Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting]] that she supported Iranian President [[Mahmoud Ahmadinejad]]. When the reporter asked her "Do you like Mr. Ahmadinejad?" and "why?", she responded that "Yes, I do a lot. Because he has shown Iran's power to the whole world, I am really proud of him."<ref>Ahmadinejad and tennis champion Aravane Rezaï. With English and French subtitle [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qVgstsflxs]</ref>

In this interview, she also affirmed having presented two tennis rackets as a gift to Ahmadinejad. The footage of Rezaï presenting her tennis rackets to Ahmadinejad was used in his official campaign advertisement video during his [[Iranian presidential election, 2009|2009 presidential election campaign]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=- YouTube |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WThBmFaOD4g |via=[[YouTube]]}}</ref>

==Father's controversies==
Rezaï's father, Arsalan Rezaï, who was a member of her coaching team, has repeatedly been the focus of controversial allegations of violence and abuse. In one interview, Aravane said, "I had tough moments, lots of sacrifices. I remember playing outside in the rain and snow."<ref name="clarey">Clarey, Christopher. [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/22/sports/tennis/22iht-srside.html "Carrying Hopes of France Can Become a Heavy Load"] ''[[The New York Times]]'' 21 May 2010</ref><ref name="flatman">Flatman, Barry.

Some neighbors bothered us. They accused me, saying that this man was killing this child. But today, she's not dead. She's happy."<ref name="clarey" /><ref name="flatman" />

At one point, the [[French Tennis Federation]] was forced to employ bodyguards to prevent Arsalan from attacking other competitors' fathers.{{Why|date=August 2011}}<ref name="flatman" /> In one 2006 incident, Arsalan attacked Sergey Vesnin, the father of [[Elena Vesnina]], and then accidentally hit his own daughter with a racquet.<ref name="walsh">Walsh, Courtney.

Just before her loss in the first round of the 2011 Australian Open, Arsalan was violent to his daughter and threatened her boyfriend.<ref name="walsh" /> After losing the match, Aravane said, "I do not want to look for excuses but I had a lot of trouble on the morning of the match."<ref name="walsh" /> The WTA indefinitely banned Arsalan from the tour, pending investigation.<ref name="walsh" /> The incident was also investigated by the Victoria police.<ref name="walsh" /><ref>Downsley, Anthony.
