2025 French Open: Draw, results, schedule as first round wraps up at Roland Garros

The 2025 French Open is underway, and the tournament brackets were revealed following last week’s draw. Which players will be the last ones standing at Roland-Garros this year?

On the men’s side, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is the No. 2 seed and defeated Giulio Zeppieri in straight sets after Kei Nishikori withdrew prior to the first round. In the 2024 final, he beat Alexander Zverev, who enters the tournament as the No. 3 seed.

Top-seeded Jannik Sinner is still looking for his first French Open victory. The furthest he’s ever made it at Roland-Garros is the semifinal, which is where he got last year before falling to Alcaraz. If he’s going to get revenge this year, it would have to be in the final. Sinner and Alcaraz recently battled on clay at the Italian Open — Sinner’s home tournament — where the Spaniard came away with a straight set victory to earn the tournament title.

Novak Djokovic, a three-time French Open champion, is the No. 6 seed and will see American Mackenzie McDonald in the first round. Last year, a knee injury forced Djokovic to withdraw before his quarterfinal match against Casper Ruud.

On the women’s side, No. 5 seed Iga Swiatek is looking to make it four straight French Open titles. She defeated Jasmine Paolini, the No. 4 seed this year, to make it three in a row last time out. If Swiatek does make it four consecutive titles, that would be a new record. Of note, however, Swiatek has failed to claim a single tournament crown in 2025 and holds a 27-9 record to date. 

Challenging Swiatek will be top-seeded Aryna Sabalenka. She rolled to the quarterfinals last year, but Sabalenka was hampered by a stomach bug in a loss to Mirra Andreeva.

Coco Gauff, the No. 2 seed, notched a doubles win last year, but she has yet to break through with a singles title at Roland-Garros. Gauff has made it to the final before, in 2022, where she lost to Swiatek.

The 2025 French Open began on Sunday, May 25 and will run for two weeks. The women’s final is on June 7, and the men’s final is one day later on June 8. After the first round, 9 of the 10 top seeds in both the men’s and women’s draws advanced to the second round, with American’s Taylor Fritz and Emma Navarro as the only two top-10 seeds to bow out in their opening round matches.
