The 2026 French Open is here, presenting a chance for No. 4 seed Coco Gauff to repeat. Although the American star won the French Open last year, Gauff is winless since the Wuhan Open in October 2025. This could be a good opportunity for the 22-year-old to win back-to-back La Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen titles at Roland Garros.

This year, Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka went down in the same game after a draw, setting up a potential semi-final showdown. Gauff beat Sabalenka at the 2025 French Open, although Iga Swiatek, winner of the 2024 edition, is the favorite to win this year’s tournament. Of the Pole’s six major tournaments, four of them took part in the French Open.
On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner is only missing out on a French Open title on his way to the first major championship of his career. His closest competitor, Carlos Alcaraz, who holds the Roland Garros title twice in a row, will miss the tournament and Wimbledon due to a wrist injury.
Sinner also avoids an early meeting with Novak Djokovic, who fell into the opposite half of the draw. That sets up the possibility of Sinner vs. Djokovic in the final, although the Serbian veteran must overcome tough competition on his way to the final, including Giovani Mbeche-Pericard in the first round, and possibly Joao Fonseca, Casper Ruud and Alexander Zverev.
