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.

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.
