The 2025 French Open is set to start on May 25 at the renowned Stade Roland Garros in Paris, running until June 8. This prestigious clay-court tournament will see returning champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek aim to defend their titles. However, Alcaraz will not enter the competition as the top-ranked player, sitting at No. 2 behind Jannik Sinner, while Swiatek has dropped to No. 5 after facing challenges in recent tournaments. Aryna Sabalenka will lead the women’s rankings heading into the event, with strong competition from Americans Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula.
The tournament schedule has been confirmed, starting with the first round of singles matches on May 25, and progressing through to the men’s final on June 8. This two-week event traditionally unfolds at the end of May, though adjustments were made during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.
Fans can look forward to a comprehensive coverage of the event on TNT and truTV, marking a transition from NBC’s previous broadcasting rights. Matches will also be available for streaming on Max, with coverage beginning most days at 5 a.m. ET. Notable former tennis stars, including Andre Agassi and John McEnroe, will provide insights and analysis throughout the tournament.
With a rich history and the anticipation of thrilling matches, the 2025 French Open promises to deliver exciting tennis moments that fans won’t want to miss.
