French Open 2025 Tournament Preview
The preview to the 2025 French Open will be updated in the lead-up to the release of the draw in the week before the start of the competition. For now, here’s the preview to the 2024 edition.
It’s the start of the second Grand Slam of the year and one of the toughest in business. Over the past nearly two decades, the men’s singles title has had one serious contender in the form of Rafael Nadal, who has won it so many times that it’s easy to lose count.
This time around, however, he is nowhere near being the favourite as the wounded stalwart looks to ride into the sunset with one last performance to remember. Unfortunately for him, Nadal will be taking on Alexander Zverev in the very first round and that makes his job of making it to the second round that much tougher.
Where does that leave the men’s draw?
Well, it’s a bit open this time. Why, you ask? Because of what’s happened in the lead-up to the tournament.
Nadal’s story has already been told. But even the other suspects – or favourites! – Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz – have had their issues.
At the time of writing, Djokovic hasn’t won a single title all season and while he comes into his in a best-of-five tournament, he will be genuinely worried about his form. Fitness is probably a small cause there.
Jannik Sinner, who surprised the world by winning the Australian Open at the expense of Djokovic, was on the verge of pulling out of the tournament at one point. Injury problems have not left him alone either.
And then there’s Carlos Alcaraz, who is a two-time Grand Slam winner and at the same time at his best on clay but has never won a French Open. He has been decent all year without being extraordinary and to beat a fully fit Djokovic and Sinner you need to be extraordinary.
Unfortunately for the fans, neither of the aforementioned players enters the 2024 as fully fit.
This leaves the likes of Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas with their own chances to make serious dents into the competition. In fact Zverev, if he can get past Nadal early, might even have the wherewithal to go the distance with some luck.
On the women’s side of things, there is one name that stands out and stands out rather prominently – Iga Swiatek. Many forget that Swiatek is just 22 years old and has already won four Grand Slam titles.
Another title victory here, and as the pre-tournament odds suggest, she is a HUGE favourite for that, will take her level with the likes of Martina Hingis and Maria Sharapova with five majors won. Again, she is only 22!
Not surprisingly, Aryna Sabalenka is the second favourite given her recent performances on clay – at Madrid and Rome – but her record on this surface against Swiatek is a poor 1-5, and that’s if and when she gets to the final.
Before that, Sabalenka has some tricky players to surmount including a possible third-round match against Paula Badosa or Sloane Stephens, Madison Keys in the fourth, Maria Sakkari or Victoria Azarenka in the last eight before a potential semifinal against Elena Rybakina.
Elena Rybakina is the other player to watch but she is returning from an injury which caused her to miss the Italian Open. Interestingly, her last match before the French Open came in a defeat at the hands of Sabalenka but it went right down to the wire.
Cori Gauff likes her time on clay too having reached the 2022 French Open final but her form has been anything but on the lines of what was on show when she won the 2023 US Open.
She should not have a lot of problem making the semifinal though what with the likes of Beatriz Haddad Maia, Jelena Ostapenko and Ons Jabeur – her potential opponents on the way – in some recent form strife. Below are the odds, contenders, and favourites for the 2024 French Open.

What Happened in the 2024 Edition of the French Open?
It was Iga Swiatek yet again who went on to win the women’s singles title at the 2024 French Open – her fourth – while Carlos Alcaraz lifted his first trophy at Roland-Garros and his third Grand Slam title in total.
Swiatek was always starting off a favourite again, having proven to be nearly invincible on clay. And barring a hiccup in one of the earlier rounds at Naomi Osaka, she proved true to her favourites tag as she steamrolled to the title.
The world number one faced first time Grand Slam finalist Jasmine Paoli in the title-decider round and dropped a mere three games on her way to the win. Earlier she had faced a match-point against Osaka but that aside, dropped 20 games across the six other matches.
There was a 40-minute, 6-0, 6-0 rout of Anastasia Potapova as well for Swiatek.
On the other hand, things were a lot harder for Alcaraz.
He was forced to come back from being down two sets to one in both, the semifinals and the final against Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev to grab the title win. Zverev’s path to the final had earlier been cleared following his opening round win over Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic’s walkover to Casper Ruud.
Djokovic had a meniscus tear in his knee and was forced to withdraw from his match against Ruud following a comeback from behind win over Francisco Cerundolo.
What Happened in the 2023 Edition of the French Open?
Iga Swiatek was crowned the women’s singles champion at the 2023 French Open for the third time in her career while the men’s tournament was won by Novak Djokovic, making it three tournament wins at Roland-Garros and 23 overall at the Grand Slam level.
In a pulsating women’s final, Swiatek held off Karolina Muchova’s threat to win 6-2, 5-7, 6-4 to lift her fourth Grand Slam title. In making the final, Swiatek did not lose a single set and lost a mere 23 games in those first six rounds. This included a 6-0, 6-0 drubbing of Xinyu Wang in the third round.
The men’s singles draw was shorn of Rafael Nadal, who withdrew from the competition because of a hip injury. It meant that the 14-time champion at Roland Garros was missing this tournament for the first time since 2005.
Djokovic took advantage by making it to the semifinal without dropping a set and then losing one only to Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinal. He would go on to ease past Casper Ruud in the final to win the tournament.
The reason why Djokovic and Alcaraz were drawn in the same half was because of Daniil Medvedev’s performances in the lead-up to the 2023 French Open making him the second seed.
Medvedev, however, lost in the very first round, making him the first second-seeded player to do so at the French Open in 23 years.
