The 2025 French Open will take place later this spring as the tennis season approaches its second grand slam.
Last year, it was glory for Carlos Alcaraz in the men’s singles, and in the women’s, Iga Swiatek continued to show why she is the queen of clay.

Alcaraz had to come from two sets to one down against Alexander Zverez to emerge victorious in Paris, but he produced two wonderful sets of tennis to see off the German.
Meanwhile, Swiatek dispatched of Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 6-1 to win her fourth singles title at this tournament.
The Pole is just 23 but has won four of the last five tournaments at the French Open.
Of course, Coco Gauff and others will be out to stop her, while in the men’s, Jannik Sinner is set to return from his three-month drug ban in time to compete.
For Britain, Jack Draper is one to watch.

French Open 2025: Draw and results
The full draw for the 2025 French Open will be conducted much closer to the event starting.
Of course, all of the usual suspects will be there in both the men and women’s singles.
French Open 2025: What has been said?
America’s Gauff already has her eyes set on glory at the French Open.
The 21-year-old made it to the final in 2022 only to be beaten by Swiatek.
However, she is determined to emerge victorious this time.
Speaking at a recent press conference about if she would like to be world No.1 or win a grand slam more, Gauff said: “Another major.
“I’ve always said… I don’t know, I feel like people remember you more off majors than the world No. 1 ranking.
“Obviously, if you could have both, that’s great.”
