The clay courts of Roland Garros are set to host some of the world`s top tennis talent once again as the French Open returns for 2025.
Last year, Carlos Alcaraz secured the men`s French Open crown after a thrilling five-set match against Alexander Zverev.
However, Alcaraz will face tough challenges, especially from World No.1 Jannik Sinner, who seeks a third straight major title upon his return from a three-month doping ban.
Novak Djokovic is pursuing a record 25th Grand Slam title, despite having recently parted ways with coach Andy Murray after a six-month partnership.
Adding to the excitement, Nick Kyrgios might make his return to Roland Garros, his first appearance there since 2016.
In the women`s draw, four-time champion Iga Swiatek looks to defend her title, having dominated Italy`s Jasmine Paolini in straight sets in the 2024 final.
Meanwhile, British favorite Emma Raducanu will be eager to perform well after a recent challenging match against American star Coco Gauff at the Italian Open.
Raducanu, who hasn`t won a Grand Slam since her memorable US Open victory in 2021, will be highly motivated to regain her top form.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2025 French Open.
When will the 2025 French Open take place?
The 2025 French Open is scheduled to commence on Sunday, May 25th, and will conclude with the Men`s Singles final on Sunday, June 8th.
