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, defeatingAi Sugiyama of Japan along the way. She fell toNicole Vaidišová of the Czech Republic, in a hard-fought three-setter. AtWimbledon, she fell in the first qualifying round. At theUS Open, she reached the fourth round, her career-bestmajor singles result.

She ended an appalling year with yet anotherITF title in Deauville, France, losing only one set en route to her victory.
Despite being unseeded, Rezaï reached the final of theAuckland Open which she lost toLindsay Davenport.

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 defeatedAsia Muhammad in straight sets.

At theCincinnati 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.[7][8]
Her disappointing level of play continued until the end of her season, as she lost in the first round of theTournament of Champions. She won the title in 2009 but now lost toAlisa Kleybanova in the first round 1–6, 2–6.

Rezaï did not play a tournament again until 2017, when she played three ITF tournaments in France but won only one match across the three, against Maria Novikova. She played one game each in November 2018 (in Luxembourg) and in July 2019 (in France), again falling in the early rounds of each.
Rezaï told theIslamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting that she supported Iranian PresidentMahmoud 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."[10]
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 his2009 presidential election campaign.[11]
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."[12][13] Her father mentioned the concern neighbors had about his training methods: "I had lots of problems to train this girl: lack of money and lack of courts. Some neighbors bothered us. They accused me, saying that this man was killing this child. But today, she's not dead. She's happy."[12][13]
At one point, theFrench Tennis Federation was forced to employ bodyguards to prevent Arsalan from attacking other competitors' fathers.[why?][13] In one 2006 incident, Arsalan attacked Sergey Vesnin, the father ofElena Vesnina, and then accidentally hit his own daughter with a racquet.[14] Aravane was denied training funds that are typically available to all French players, and she was also banned in 2007 from training with other players atRoland Garros because of her father's dispute with the FrenchFed Cup captain.[12][13][14][15]
Just before her loss in the first round of the 2011 Australian Open, Arsalan was violent to his daughter and threatened her boyfriend.[14] 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."[14] The WTA indefinitely banned Arsalan from the tour, pending investigation.[14] The incident was also investigated by the Victoria police.[14][16]
