French Open draw LIVE: Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper learn fate at Roland Garros

Projected quarter-finals – based on seeding

[1] Sabalenka vs Zheng [8]

[4] Paolini vs Swiatek [5)

[6] Andreeva vs Pegula [3]

The top half is a blockbuster. There could be a repeat of last year’s final, between Swiatek and Paolini, in the quarters.

We continue with the seeded players in the women’s draw. This is where Ousmane Dembele will be involved.

Aryna Sabalenka is place at the top, with Coco Gauff at the bottom. Sabalenka will open against Kamilla Rakhimova, Gauff against Olivia Gadecki .

Jasmine Paolini is in the top half with Aryna Sabalenka, as is Qinwen Zheng. Iga Swiatek is also in the top half of the draw. The defending champion will open against Rebecca Šramková.

And, if Swiatek and Raducanu both win their first match, they will play each other in the second round!

We begin with the women’s draw. We’re starting with the unseeded players, and Britain’s Jodie Burrage will play Danielle Collins in the opening round. Collins defeated Emma Raducanu in Strasbourg this week.

Raducanu is draw at the bottom of the top half of the draw and will play Wang Xin in the opening round. I think that means there’s a good chance of playing either a top-eight seed in the second round.

Katie Boulter will play a qualifier in the opening round. Again, I think there’s a good chance Boulter plays a top-eight seed in the second round.

Sonay Kartal will play Erika Andreeva in round one.

As with the other grand slams, there will be 128 players in both main draws, including qualifiers and wildcards.

The unseeded players, including qualifiers, are placed randomly. The seeded players are then draw, filling out the bracket.

The ceremony is underway. Marc Maury, the master of ceremonies and the voice of Roland Garros, introduces the draw.

President of the French Tennis Federation Gilles Moretton, tournament director Amelie Mauresmo and Ousmane Dembele will conduct the draw.

Paris Saint-Germain and France forward Ousmane Dembele will draw the seeded players during the French Open draw.

Dembele will be playing in the Champions League final and French Cup final in the next couple of weeks, hoping to win the treble for PSG.

Novak Djokovic secured his first clay-court victory of the 2025 season as the 24-time Grand Slam champion eased into the Geneva Open quarter-finals, defeating Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics 6-2 6-3.

It was the Serbian’s first win on clay since he claimed the gold medal at last year’s Paris Olympics, having recently suffered early exits in Monte Carlo and Madrid.

Djokovic put on a commanding performance, wrapping up the 75-minute match without facing a single break point and dictating play from the baseline with sharp groundstrokes.

“My first win this season on clay. It’s great to break the ice in a way,” Djokovic said on court.”

The French Open main draw for men’s and women’s singles begins on Sunday 25 May. Women’s semi-final day is Thursday 5 June, with the women’s final played on Saturday 7 June. Men’s semi-final day is Friday 6 June and the men’s final will be played on Sunday 8 June.

In the UK, the French Open will be shown live on TNT Sports and Discovery+.

Injury troubled Matteo Berrettini has withdrawn from the French Open ahead of the draw.

The former Wimbledon finalist will hope to recover in time for the grass season, and he will be replaced in the draw by a lucky loser.

Carlos Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner to win the Italian Open last week and it would seem as if the top two players in the world are on a collision course ahead of Roland Garros.

Defending French Open champion Alcaraz is the only player to have defeated World No 1 Sinner since last August, with the Spaniard managing to raise his game when it matters most.
