The French Open 2026 – the second major on the tennis calendar and concluding event of the clay court season – will be here before you know it.
All eyes will be on Roland-Garros for two thrilling weeks of Grand Slam competition as the best players in the world slug it out for their place in history.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is missing due to injury, which leaves Jannik Sinner as the clear favourite in the men's singles. A victory for the Italian would see him complete the career grand slam.
Things are harder to predict in the women's draw, where World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka remains the top dog but has had her struggles of late and will face plenty of competition – not least from 2025 winner Coco Gauff.
