The French Open 2025 begins amid nostalgia and change, marking the first Roland Garros in two decades without 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal, the 14-time champion. His absence leaves a huge void and opens the field. The spotlight will be on Jannik Sinner and Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz as he defends his title when the main draw starts Sunday, May 25.

Sinner바카라™s celebrated comeback in Rome earlier this month has only added to the anticipation for the season바카라™s second Grand Slam, and the only Major contested on clay.
Alcaraz returns to Roland Garros not only as the defending champion but also bearing the weight of a growing legacy.
Widely hailed as the 바카라˜new King of Clay,바카라™ he is viewed as the natural successor to Nadal. Alcaraz바카라™s rise has generated excitement and high expectations as he aims to carry forward Nadal바카라™s legacy on the red clay.
But, he will have a tough road to defend his title, with world No. 1 Sinner back from a doping ban and both Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev looking dangerous.
