Novak Djokovic has been drawn in the half of the French Open bracket that excludes Jannik Sinner, setting up a pathway that avoids facing the Italian until a potential final. Djokovic, a three-time Roland Garros champion and second seed this year, returns to the tournament aiming to secure his 25th Grand Slam singles title, which would extend his record. He is scheduled to open his campaign against French qualifier Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard.

Sinner, meanwhile, will begin his pursuit of completing a career Grand Slam by facing French wildcard Clement Tabur in the first round. The Italian arrives at Roland Garros as the favourite in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, the reigning champion who is not participating. Sinner recently achieved a notable milestone by becoming the second man, and the youngest player in history, to win all nine Masters 1000 titles, a feat previously accomplished only by Djokovic.

Emma Raducanu also faces an early test in the women’s draw as she seeks to regain momentum following a two-month break due to a post-viral illness. The British player is set to open against 21-year-old Argentine Solana Sierra, who has shown promising potential and represents a significant challenge for Raducanu as she looks to reestablish her form.

The women's draw also features defending champion Coco Gauff, who is seeded fourth. Gauff will begin her title defense with a first-round match against American Taylor Townsend.

Overall, the draw highlights a mix of established stars and emerging talents poised for compelling contests at Roland Garros. Djokovic’s record-chasing ambitions, Sinner’s pursuit of Grand Slam success in Alcaraz’s absence, and Raducanu’s return to competition all set the stage for an intriguing tournament in Paris.
