Coco Gauff defends her singles titles in the second Grand Slam of the 2026 French Open calendar year.
Reigning men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz will not be able to claim a third straight title due to a wrist injury that will also prevent the world number two from playing at Wimbledon in June and July.
That means Jannik Sinner is the heavy favorite to succeed the Spaniard after losing the final to Alcaraz in five sets last year.

Who will win the French Open 2026? Roland Garros Contenders
Reign Wimbledon champion Sinner is the top seed and started the tournament on a 29-game winning streak.
« He may be in the form of his life and without Carlos here it also increases his chances of claiming more Grand Slam titles even more, » accepted Djokovic.
« (Alcarez) is a two-time defending champion. It’s a big blow to the tournament to be gone, but it doesn’t change my approach.
« My main concern is my body. If I am healthy throughout the tournament, I also have a very good chance, as I showed in Australia (I lost the final to Alcaraz).
« We talked a lot about how impressive (Sinner) is on all surfaces. People might question, because of his style of play, whether he would be as dominant on clay as he is on hard surfaces, for example.
« But he’s proven that to be the case as well, which is really amazing. He’s got a lot of time ahead of him. »
Sabalenka and Swiatek are the women’s singles favorites, with The fisherman and Gauff is also expected to cause
« I’m very happy to be back, » Sabalenka said, explaining how she’s overcome physical concerns and worked on her mental game.
« I definitely feel a lot better. I struggled physically at the beginning of the clay season, but right now I feel 100%.
“We’ve been focusing on recovery and making sure I’m healed all over and ready to go.
“My emotions were ruining my game and my level would drop drastically when I started overreacting to everything.
« My opponents would see that and they would step in and play better. So it was about making sure my opponent didn’t see what was going on in my head and at the same time performing better and staying in the zone.
« It’s improved a lot over the years in my career and really helped me step up. »
