The French Open is set to return in 2025, bringing some of the world`s top tennis talent back to the famous clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris.
Last year, Carlos Alcaraz secured the men`s French Open title in a thrilling five-set match against Alexander Zverev.
Defending champion Alcaraz will face stiff competition, notably from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner, who seeks a third consecutive major title following a three-month doping ban (as stated in the source text). Novak Djokovic is pursuing a historic 25th Grand Slam title, following his recent split with coach Andy Murray after only six months. Nick Kyrgios might also make a notable return to Roland Garros, having not played there since 2016.
In the women`s draw, four-time champion Iga Swiatek aims to defend her crown, having decisively defeated Italian player Jasmine Paolini in straight sets in the 2024 final.
British player Emma Raducanu will be looking to make her mark after a recent significant loss to American star Coco Gauff at the Italian Open. Since her memorable US Open victory in 2021, Raducanu has not achieved further Grand Slam success, adding motivation for her performance at Roland Garros.
