Jannik Sinner chasing history In Paris

Jannik Sinner heads into the French Open as the form player on tour after extending his winning streak to 29 matches with his Italian Open triumph in Rome.

The 24-year-old became only the second man, after Novak Djokovic, to complete the Career Golden Masters, winning all nine ATP Masters 1000 events. Sinner has already captured titles this season at Indian Wells, Miami, Monte-Carlo, Madrid, and Rome.

The Italian now aims to complete the Career Grand Slam by adding Roland Garros to his growing list of major titles.

Meanwhile, Djokovic arrives in Paris seeking a historic 25th Grand Slam singles crown, while Alexander Zverev continues his quest for a maiden major championship after narrowly missing out in recent finals.

Emotional farewell for Monfils and Wawrinka

Roland Garros 2026 will also mark the final Paris appearances for two fan favourites: Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka. Monfils famously reached the semi-finals in Paris back in 2008, while Wawrinka lifted the title in 2015 after defeating Djokovic in the final.

French hopes rest on Arthur Fils

French tennis fans will place major expectations on Arthur Fils, currently the nation’s highest-ranked male player.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough clay campaign after winning the ATP 500 title in Barcelona and reaching the Madrid Masters semi-finals earlier this season.

Young stars Joao Fonseca and Rafael Jodar are also expected to attract attention after impressive clay performances during the ATP season.
