Defending champions Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz have a target on their backs at Roland Garros. Swiatek has won the French Open three times in a row, but is completely out of form, whereas Alcaraz has a reinvigorated Jannik Sinner and title-starved Novak Djokovic on his tail.

Having failed to win a title all year, Swiatek has been handed a tough draw. Not only is she on the same side as Aryna Sabalenka, but in order to face the world No.1 she may first need to beat Emma Raducanu, Marta Kostyuk, 2017 champion Jelena Ostapenko and 2024 finalist Jasmine Paolini, who's just won the Italian Open.
Only one of Coco Gauff, Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula can reach the final, while Zheng Qinwen carries a threat despite recent form, having won Olympic gold at Roland Garros last year.
Paris 2024 was the highlight of Djokovic's year, and after contending five slams without success, that record-breaking 25th major is proving infuriatingly elusive — but it's keeping the 38-year-old going. Sinner's back from a three-month doping suspension, and the break seems to have done him good. He cruised to the Italian Open final on his return, but of course fell short to the hands of World Number 2, Alcaraz.

Watch French Open 2025 from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the tennis on your usual subscription?
You can still watch the French Open live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN — we explain why in our NordVPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view an Aussie service, you'd select Australia from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to 9Now or another streaming service and watch the French Open.

It's all change in the U.S. for the 2025 French Open, which is now split between TNT and TruTV.
If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get both of those channels through an OTT cable TV alternative.
Our pick is Sling TV, which includes TNT and TruTV with its Blue plan, with prices starting from $45.99 a month and $10 off your first month.
