The 2025 French Open is set to bring together the world`s elite tennis players to compete on the iconic clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris.
Carlos Alcaraz is the defending men`s champion, having won the 2024 title in a memorable five-set final against Alexander Zverev.
Alcaraz will face strong challengers this year, including World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who will be looking to continue his impressive form and potentially claim a third straight major title.
Novak Djokovic is also competing, aiming for a historic 25th Grand Slam win, despite his recent coaching change.
Nick Kyrgios may make his return to Roland Garros for the first time since 2016.
On the women`s side, four-time champion Iga Swiatek returns to defend her title, having won the 2024 final convincingly against Jasmine Paolini.
British player Emma Raducanu will be looking for a strong performance after a recent loss to Coco Gauff at the Italian Open. Raducanu, who hasn`t won a Grand Slam since her breakthrough US Open victory in 2021, is keen to make her mark.
