French Open 2025 preview
The first French Open since 14-time champion Rafael Nadal's retirement will nevertheless feature a relentless Spain seeking to lift the men's Roland Garros title. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in a pulsating final 12 months and the second seed will hope for more joy on clay after he beat the returning top seed Jannik Sinner in the Rome Open final two weeks ago.
Elsewhere, Novak Djokovic will again seek a record 25th grand slam singles title, but the 38-year-old Serbian has struggled for form this term and recently dispensed with the services of coach Andy Murray. That's an accusation that can't be levelled at Jack Draper, who won Indian Wells and reached the Madrid Open final on clay. Draper is in the same draw as Sinner.
Keep an eye out for Casper Ruud, too. The Norwegian has re-found his form and beat Draper in the Spanish capital – he loves it out on the dirt.
In the women's singles, defending champion Iga Swiatek looks like having her work cut out if she's to win a fifth Roland Garros title in six years. The 23-year-old Pole is yet to win a tournament in 2025 and despite a supreme clay-court pedigree has dropped down the rankings to be seeded only fifth. She's drawn to face former US Open champion Emma Raducanu in the second round.
Swiatek is also in the same quarter of the draw as Jasmine Paolini, the fourth seed who she beat for the loss of just three games in the 2024 final. Big-serving Elena Rybakina also lies in wait in the fourth round.
World number one Aryna Sabalenka isn't the most natural on clay, but the Belarusian won the Madrid Open recently to prove her improvements. The 27-year-old has the power game to do damage on any surface and better movement will be key to her success.
Second seed Coco Gauff is arguably the form horse. The 21-year-old American is unlucky to be in the same generation as the prodigious Swiatek, but she demolished the Pole in the Madrid Open semi-final and will be highly fancied in Paris.

Watch French Open live streams 2025 in the US
Tennis fans in the US can watch a French Open live stream on TNT, which can be accessed through a variety of cable packages as well as cord-cutting services such as Sling. There are no long contracts with either service. If you're not happy with them, you can cancel them at any time.
Sling TV is a great option as it includes TNT offerings with its Blue and Orange packages, with new customers getting their first month half price (and only $46 a month after that).
Other streaming options include DirecTV, which includes TNT and 20-plus key sports channels for $69.99 a month, and going direct to Max, the streaming service for TNT. For Max, you need a B/R Sports add-on costing $9.99 a month, on top of an existing subscription, which starts from $9.99 a month.
Another US option is the Tennis Channel, which will have the early matches each day, plus coverage of the best action as the day goes on, albeit not the all-inclusive offering from TNT. Download the Tennis Channel app or visit the website to start streaming on your preferred device, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and Samsung Smart TVs. Subscriptions are available at $109.99 per year or $9.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
Of course, Sling, DirecTV, Max and the Tennis Channel are only available within the States, so be sure to use a VPN if you're a US subscriber stuck abroad. We recommend NordVPN, as it's reliable and comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
