The 2025 French Open has officially kicked off today, May 25, at the iconic Stade Roland Garros in Paris. This marks the second Grand Slam event of the year and fans are eager to see if last year’s champions can defend their titles—Carlos Alcaraz for the men and Iga Świątek for the women. Interestingly, Alcaraz and Świątek will not enter the tournament as the No. 1 seeds; that honor goes to Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, respectively.
Alcaraz enters the tournament with significant momentum after recently winning the Italian Open, defeating Sinner in the final match. Their positions in the draw mean that they could meet again in the final round, adding excitement to the tournament.
The first matches of Round 1 will begin airing today at 5 a.m. ET, and throughout the tournament, matches will be accessible live on Max, TNT, and truTV. For viewers looking to catch all of the action, live TV streaming services like Sling TV and DIRECTV provide excellent options, including special offers for new subscribers.
Matches will be featured daily, starting from the initial rounds all the way through to the finals scheduled for June 8. Notable seeded players to watch include American talents Coco Gauff, the No. 2 seed, and Jessica Pegula, the No. 3 seed in the women’s bracket, alongside No. 4 men’s seed Taylor Fritz.
Throughout the tournament, tennis enthusiasts can expect thrilling matchups and stunning performances as many of the sport’s top athletes vie for the prestigious title. With the compelling narratives of defending champions and rising stars, the 2025 French Open promises to be an exhilarating event on the tennis calendar.
