When is the French Open draw? Seeds, wildcards and confirmed entry list

The French Open gets underway on Sunday with the clay-court season coming to a climax on the red dirt of Roland-Garros. In the men’s draw, Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to win his first French Open title and to claim the career Grand Slam in the process, continuing a hugely successful season in which he has already made history as only the second man, and the youngest, to win all nine Masters 1000 titles. In the absence of arch-rival and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz , who is absent with a wrist injury, there appear few players who can stop the Italian - although the veteran Novak Djokovic has offered the stiffest competition in recent months and will arrive in Paris with renewed motivation to win an outright record 25th major.

The women’s draw meanwhile is full of potential winners, with defending champion Coco Gauff having had a mixed clay-court season thus far but arriving with a point to prove after a tough defeat in the Italian Open final. The American returns to action alongside Australian Open champion and last year’s runner-up Aryna Sabalenka, four-time Roland-Garros winner Iga Swiatek , and a rejuvenated Elina Svitolina , who recently won her biggest title in eight years on the clay in Rome to put herself among the contenders. Here’s everything you need to know: When is the French Open draw?
