The status of favorite par excellence has been assigned to Carlos Alcaraz, the current title holder and called to defend the 200 points won in 2024. Jannik Sinner follows, who will try to win at Slam level outside of hard courts (his successes have in fact come at the Australian Open and the US Open).
On the lowest step of the podium Novak Djokovic, never to be ruled out even if clay may not fully reward him. Then the German Alexander Zverev (already a finalist in the last edition), Stefanos Tsitsipas, especially if he finds his best game and optimal physical shape, and Casper Ruud (already a finalist in the prestigious French event twice).
The particular fact remains the presence of Nadal, who undoubtedly knows more than anyone the secrets to winning in Paris considering that he has succeeded 14 times.
