The excitement is building as the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros approaches, set to unfold from May 25 to June 8, 2025. The women’s singles entry list is led by the formidable world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, the defending champion Iga Swiatek, and a strong American contingent featuring Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Madison Keys. Swiatek, a four-time champion, is the clear favorite, despite some recent challenges that have seen her appear slightly behind Sabalenka over the past year.
Sabalenka, who reached the semifinals in 2023 and the quarterfinals in 2024, is eager to claim the title, and she will bring her best game to Paris. The American lineup is impressive, with Jessica Pegula currently holding the No. 3 ranking, alongside former finalist Coco Gauff and the experienced Madison Keys. However, they won’t be the only players vying for glory, as the 2024 Olympic gold medallist Zheng Qinwen and the rising star Mirra Andreeva are also expected to pose significant threats.
Last year’s final was a showcase of Swiatek’s dominance as she faced Jasmine Paolini. In a thrilling match, Swiatek saved a match point against Naomi Osaka in the second round, showcasing her resilience before steamrolling her way to the final. The Polish powerhouse ultimately claimed the title with a convincing 6-2, 6-1 victory over Paolini, further solidifying her status as the Queen of Clay.
This year’s entry list also features some notable past champions and contenders. Barbora Krejcikova, the 2021 champion, will be looking to make her mark again, joined by fellow Czechs Petra Kvitova, a two-time Grand Slam winner, and Karolina Muchova, who was the runner-up at Roland Garros in 2023. The competition is fierce, and fans can expect thrilling matches as these elite athletes battle for the coveted title.
The entry list is extensive, with rankings reflecting the competitive landscape of women’s tennis. Here’s a look at the top players:
As anticipation builds, the tennis world is abuzz with discussions about potential matchups and storylines that could unfold during the tournament.
