There are many highlights of the men's and women's singles at the 2025 French Open, and whether Sinner and Arca can meet in the men's singles final has attracted much attention

The 2025 French Open, the second Grand Slam tournament in world tennis this season, will kick off on the 25th of this month at Roland Garros in Paris, France. The tournament will last for two weeks of fierce competition, and in the men's category, for example, it will be interesting for fans to see if the world's No. 1 Yannick Sinner and world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz will face off in the men's singles final.

Alcaraz won the tournament last year, claiming his fourth Grand Slam title. Born in 2003, Alcaraz won his first Grand Slam title at the 2022 US Open, and also won Wimbledon 2023, last year's French Open and Wimbledon.

In the men's singles tournament at the French Open, only Rafael Nadal (retired, Spain) or Novak Djokovic (No. 6, Serbia) won the men's singles tournament between 2016 and 2023, with Alcaraz taking the trophy last year. After Nadal, who won the French Open 14 times alone, retired last year, Alcaraz, known as "Nadal's successor", challenged for two consecutive French Open titles.

Born in 2001, Sinner currently holds three Grand Slam titles

Born in 2001, Sinner currently holds three Grand Slam titles, including in 2001Won two Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open and US Open in 2024, and successfully defended his Australian Open title in 2025.His best result at the French Open was reaching the semi-finals last year. After winning the Australian Open this year, Sinner returned earlier this month after being banned for three months for doping. He was runner-up at the BNL Italy International, the men's professional tennis (ATP) tour, which is a comeback tournament, announcing his survival.

However, Sinner's defeat to Alcaraz in the men's singles final of the BNL Italy International at home and his recent four-game losing streak against the latter are a bit unsettling.

Djokovic, who was born in 1987, will also be interesting to see against Sinel and Alcaraz, who are classified as "new generation". Djokovic, who has won 24 Grand Slam singles titles at a Grand Slam tournament, will be challenging for the first time in a man or woman to win 25 Grand Slam singles titles. In addition to Djokovic, Margaret Cotter (Ret., Australia) has won 24 women's singles titles at Grand Slam tournaments. Djokovic, who won his 24th Grand Slam title at the 2023 US Open, failed to increase his Grand Slam title last year.

However, in the final of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games held at the French Open, he defeated Alcaraz to win the gold medal, hoping to "make a glorious come" at this year's French Open. Djokovic has won the French Open men's singles title three times in 2016, 2021 and 2023.

In the Women's Singles, Poland's No. 5 Swiatek will challenge for a fourth consecutive title, having won the title for three consecutive years2022 French Open, 2023 French Open and 2If Swiatek, the 024 French Open women's singles champion, realizes her dream of Paris, it will be the first player in 102 years since Xu Zhan Rendren (France) in 1923 to achieve four consecutive women's singles titles. But the variable is that Swiatek, who has won the French Open four times in the last five years, has seen a downward trend since last year, after being banned for one month for doping.

Players such as world No. 1 Belarusian Sarembaka, world No. 2 American star Gauff and last year's Paris Olympic gold medallist Zheng Qinwen are among the candidates to prevent Swiatek from winning the French Open. In addition, world No. 7 Madison Keys of the United States won the Australian Open this year, and reaching the semi-finals in 2018 is his best result at the French Open. It is reported that the total prize money of this year's French Open is 56.35 million euros, and the prize money for the men's and women's singles champions is 2.55 million euros.
