In 2024, the tournament was rated slower than both Rome and Madrid Masters.
Parisian clay is a traditional, slow, and high-bouncing surface that rewards patience, stamina, and tactical precision, favoring baseline grinders and players adept at constructing points.
Temperature: Expected to range from low to mid-20s with several bouts of rain throughout the tournament.
Roland-Garros now has roofs over two main stadiums, reducing rain delays.

Players Quotes
- Carlos Alcaraz: You don’t have to play brilliantly, show your best tennis, or be the best version of yourself to win [Roland-Garros]. In the end, you often win with your head.
- Novak Djokovic: It’s not to take anything away from winning any other Slam, but just Roland-Garros is the highest mountain to climb for me in my career.
- Casper Ruud: I won't play perfect, but I'm going to be a tough player to beat in best-of-five sets on clay. My opponents have to play really good tennis for at least three full sets, and I'm going to try to make it tough for them.
Recent Champions
2024: Carlos Alcaraz
2023: Novak Djokovic
2022: Rafael Nadal
2021: Novak Djokovic
2016-2020: Rafael Nadal
In 2024, Carlos Alcaraz became the first new Roland-Garros champion since 2015.
Verdict
The odds for this year’s Roland-Garros men’s crown have concentrated around two players: defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 1 Jannik Sinner.
Sinner returned from his suspension in Rome and laid out a final on home soil, becoming runner-up to none other than Alcaraz, who has gone 15-1 on clay this season.
Players like Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev are unlikely to see action beyond the semifinals.
