The 2025 French Open is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Grand Slam tournaments in recent years, with Paris once again hosting this iconic clay-court event at Roland Garros. Defending champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek are both returning, but the tournament is expected to be wide open this year. The Spaniard’s form has been inconsistent, while Swiatek, a four-time winner, has not won a title since last year.
