The world's number one tennis player, Janik Siner, is the first favorite of the tournament, both due to his current form and the fact that Carlos Alcaraz will not be defending his title in the City of Light, as he has withdrawn due to injury.
The biggest threat to the hot-tempered Italian should be the most decorated tennis player of all time, Novak Djokovic. However, the question is how ready the 24-time Grand Slam winner is, given that he has only played one match on clay this season in Rome, where he was eliminated in the first round by Dino Prižmić.
Siner će pokušati da dođe do pete grend slem titule, ali prve na Frenč openu i tako kompletira karijerni slem.
The draw means that Janik and Novak cannot meet before the final. Both players start with home players. The Italian's first obstacle is 26-year-old WC qualifier Klemen Tabur, while strong server Giovanni Mpesi Perikar is a rival to the three-time Roland Garros champion.
Siner je u seriji od 28 pobjeda zaredom, a ove godine je već osvojio pet ATP titula.
The second seed is 2024 finalist Alexander Zverev, who will also play French player Benjamin Bonzi.
Lurking from the sidelines are Daniil Medvedev, whose favorite surface is not clay, two-time consecutive finalist (2022, 2023) Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, Arthur Fisz...
This Roland Garros will also be the last for two veterans – Gael Monfils and 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka, who at 41 is the oldest in the draw. The Swiss will play in the first round against Arthur Fiss, another Frenchman, who is 20 years younger.
GOF DEFENDS TITLE, SABALENKA FIRST FAVORITE, DANKA FINALLY ON THE BIGGEST STAGE
The defending women's title is held by American Coco Gauff, who defeated Aryna Sabalenka in three sets in the final last year.
Sabalenka is set as the first favorite, and will cross racquets with Spaniard Buzas Maneiro at the start.
Goff begins her title defense against compatriot Taylor Townsend.
Our Danka Kovinić, who recently returned to the court after a long break, will play in the first round against the 148th ranked tennis player in the world, a qualifier from China, Qiu Wang. This will be her first appearance on the biggest stage since the 2023 US Open.
