caption,\nCarlos Alcaraz came back from two sets to one down to win the French Open title in 2024\nUpdated 7 June 2025\nFrench Open 2025\nDates:\n25 May-8 June\nVenue:\nRoland Garros\nCoverage:\nLive radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app\nThe second Grand Slam of the year is approaching its conclusion, with the men's French Open singles title still to be decided in Paris.\nWorld number two Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday to lift her second major singles title.\nWith no Rafael Nadal in the men's draw after the record 14-time champion retired in 2024, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are looking to add another major title to their growing collections.\nThey will meet on Sunday - and there will be comprehensive coverage of the final across the BBC.\nWhen is the French Open 2025?\nThe clay-court Grand Slam started on Sunday, 25 May and finishes on Sunday, 8 June.\nThe women's singles final takes place on Saturday, 7 June, with the men's final concluding the tournament a day later.\nHow to follow the French Open on the BBC\nThere will be daily live text commentaries of the key matches from the French Open on the BBC Sport website and app.\n5 Live Sport has daily coverage and commentary live from Court Philippe-Chatrier across 5 Live Sport, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website.\nTennis correspondent Russell Fuller will be joined by Katie Smith, Abigail Johnson and David Law, with analysis from Annabel Croft, Greg Rusedski, Naomi Broady, Ryan Harrison, Daniela Hantuchova and others.\nWho won the French Open in 2024?\nAlcaraz won his first French Open title last year, coming back from two sets to one down to see off Alexander Zverev in the men's singles.\nSpain's Alcaraz is a four-time major champion, having gone on to defend his Wimbledon title just five weeks later.\nIga Swiatek arrived at Roland Garros as the three-time defending champion in the women's singles, beating Jasmine Paolini in last year's final.\nSwiatek had won four of the past five women's singles titles at Roland Garros - however, her semi-final exit means there will be a new name on the trophy in 2025.\nWhat is the prize money?\nThe total prize money for the French Open is 56.352m euros (£47.5m) - an increase on last year of 5.21%.\nThe men's and women's singles champions will win 2.55m euros, with the runner-up taking home 1.275m euros.\nWho is still in contention?\nMen's world number one Sinner and second-ranked Alcaraz, the favourites on the men's side, are both through to the final.\nThe pair recently contested the Italian Open final,\nwith Alcaraz emerging triumphant.\nSinner ended Novak Djokovic's latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set win over the three-time French Open champion on Friday night.\nThat came after Alcaraz moved into his second successive Roland Garros final following Lorenzo Musetti's retirement in the fourth set of their semi-final.\nAlcaraz led 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 2-0 when Italian eighth seed Musetti was forced to end the match early because of injury.\nHow did British players fare in main draw?\nSeven Britons qualified for the French Open, with Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie going furthest before exits in the last 16.\nBritish number one and fifth seed\nDraper\nwas beaten by Alexander Bublik in four sets, while\nNorrie\nlost to 24-time major champion Djokovic.\nNorrie had beaten fast-rising Jacob Fearnley in an all-British contest in the third round.\nIt was the first time since 1963 that two British men had reached the fourth round at the clay-court Grand Slam.\nKatie Boulter, the highest-ranked British woman in the singles draw, and Sonay Kartal both lost in the second round.\nEmma Raducanu's run in Paris was also ended in round two with a straight-set defeat by Poland's Swiatek.\nJodie Burrage was the only British player to lose in the first round, beaten by former world number seven Danielle Collins in straight sets.\nWhen was the French Open draw?\nThe French Open singles draw took place on Thursday, 22 May.\nThere are 128 players in each singles draw and the top 32 are seeded according to their ranking.\nWhat time do the matches take place?\nPlay takes place from 11am local time (10:00 BST) at Roland Garros, with the night sessions beginning not before 20:15 (19:15 BST).\nFrench Open 2025 schedule\n8 June:\nMen's singles final","attrs_markdown":"[BBC Homepage](https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/)\n\n- [Skip to

Boilerpipe Text	Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Carlos Alcaraz came back from two sets to one down to win the French Open title in 2024 Updated 7 June 2025 French Open 2025 Dates: 25 May-8 June Venue: Roland Garros Coverage: Live radio commentaries across 5 Live Sport and BBC Sounds, plus live text commentaries on the BBC Sport website and app The second Grand Slam of the year is approaching its conclusion, with the men's French Open singles title still to be decided in Paris. World number two Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday to lift her second major singles title. With no Rafael Nadal in the men's draw after the record 14-time champion retired in 2024, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are looking to add another major title to their growing collections. They will meet on Sunday - and there will be comprehensive coverage of the final across the BBC. When is the French Open 2025? The clay-court Grand Slam started on Sunday, 25 May and finishes on Sunday, 8 June. The women's singles final takes place on Saturday, 7 June, with the men's final concluding the tournament a day later. How to follow the French Open on the BBC There will be daily live text commentaries of the key matches from the French Open on the BBC Sport website and app. 5 Live Sport has daily coverage and commentary live from Court Philippe-Chatrier across 5 Live Sport, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website. Tennis correspondent Russell Fuller will be joined by Katie Smith, Abigail Johnson and David Law, with analysis from Annabel Croft, Greg Rusedski, Naomi Broady, Ryan Harrison, Daniela Hantuchova and others. Who won the French Open in 2024? Alcaraz won his first French Open title last year, coming back from two sets to one down to see off Alexander Zverev in the men's singles. Spain's Alcaraz is a four-time major champion, having gone on to defend his Wimbledon title just five weeks later. Iga Swiatek arrived at Roland Garros as the three-time defending champion in the women's singles, beating Jasmine Paolini in last year's final. Swiatek had won four of the past five women's singles titles at Roland Garros - however, her semi-final exit means there will be a new name on the trophy in 2025. What is the prize money? The total prize money for the French Open is 56.352m euros (£47.5m) - an increase on last year of 5.21%. The men's and women's singles champions will win 2.55m euros, with the runner-up taking home 1.275m euros. Who is still in contention? Men's world number one Sinner and second-ranked Alcaraz, the favourites on the men's side, are both through to the final. The pair recently contested the Italian Open final, with Alcaraz emerging triumphant. Sinner ended Novak Djokovic's latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set win over the three-time French Open champion on Friday night. That came after Alcaraz moved into his second successive Roland Garros final following Lorenzo Musetti's retirement in the fourth set of their semi-final. Alcaraz led 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 2-0 when Italian eighth seed Musetti was forced to end the match early because of injury. How did British players fare in main draw? Seven Britons qualified for the French Open, with Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie going furthest before exits in the last 16. British number one and fifth seed Draper was beaten by Alexander Bublik in four sets, while Norrie lost to 24-time major champion Djokovic. Norrie had beaten fast-rising Jacob Fearnley in an all-British contest in the third round. It was the first time since 1963 that two British men had reached the fourth round at the clay-court Grand Slam. Katie Boulter, the highest-ranked British woman in the singles draw, and Sonay Kartal both lost in the second round. Emma Raducanu's run in Paris was also ended in round two with a straight-set defeat by Poland's Swiatek. Jodie Burrage was the only British player to lose in the first round, beaten by former world number seven Danielle Collins in straight sets. When was the French Open draw? The French Open singles draw took place on Thursday, 22 May. There are 128 players in each singles draw and the top 32 are seeded according to their ranking. What time do the matches take place? Play takes place from 11am local time (10:00 BST) at Roland Garros, with the night sessions beginning not before 20:15 (19:15 BST). French Open 2025 schedule 8 June: Men's singles final

World number two Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday to lift her second major singles title. With no Rafael Nadal in the men's draw after the record 14-time champion retired in 2024, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are looking to add another major title to their growing collections. They will meet on Sunday - and there will be comprehensive coverage of the final across the BBC. - [Gauff and Sabalenka face off in French Open final](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/cvgnmlmjv0do) - [Sinner beats Djokovic to set up Alcaraz final](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/cnv193eey78o) ## When is the French Open 2025? The clay-court Grand Slam started on Sunday, 25 May and finishes on Sunday, 8 June. The women's singles final takes place on Saturday, 7 June, with the men's final concluding the tournament a day later. ## How to follow the French Open on the BBC There will be daily live text commentaries of the key matches from the French Open on the BBC Sport website and app. 5 Live Sport has daily coverage and commentary live from Court Philippe-Chatrier across 5 Live Sport, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website. Tennis correspondent Russell Fuller will be joined by Katie Smith, Abigail Johnson and David Law, with analysis from Annabel Croft, Greg Rusedski, Naomi Broady, Ryan Harrison, Daniela Hantuchova and others. - ['Big Four' reunite at Nadal's French Open farewell](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c0k3n806l3zo) - [What makes a good clay-court player?](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/cn5yzyydy0po) - [Why does French Open not have electronic line calling?](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/clygxnkddg9o) ## Who won the French Open in 2024? Alcaraz won his first French Open title last year, coming back from two sets to one down to see off Alexander Zverev in the men's singles. Spain's Alcaraz is a four-time major champion, having gone on to defend his Wimbledon title just five weeks later. Iga Swiatek arrived at Roland Garros as the three-time defending champion in the women's singles, beating Jasmine Paolini in last year's final. Swiatek had won four of the past five women's singles titles at Roland Garros - however, her semi-final exit means there will be a new name on the trophy in 2025. ## What is the prize money? The total prize money for the French Open is 56.352m euros (£47.5m) - an increase on last year of 5.21%. The men's and women's singles champions will win 2.55m euros, with the runner-up taking home 1.275m euros. ## Who is still in contention? Men's world number one Sinner and second-ranked Alcaraz, the favourites on the men's side, are both through to the final. The pair recently contested the Italian Open final, [with Alcaraz emerging triumphant.](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c5y6g49le80o) Sinner ended Novak Djokovic's latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set win over the three-time French Open champion on Friday night. That came after Alcaraz moved into his second successive Roland Garros final following Lorenzo Musetti's retirement in the fourth set of their semi-final. Alcaraz led 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 2-0 when Italian eighth seed Musetti was forced to end the match early because of injury. - [Alcaraz and Sinner renew rivalry - Second Serve](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/cx2e0reevr7o) ## How did British players fare in main draw? Seven Britons qualified for the French Open, with Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie going furthest before exits in the last 16. British number one and fifth seed [Draper](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c80kjz1k895o) was beaten by Alexander Bublik in four sets, while [Norrie](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c89pkn7wqpjo) lost to 24-time major champion Djokovic. Norrie had beaten fast-rising Jacob Fearnley in an all-British contest in the third round. It was the first time since 1963 that two British men had reached the fourth round at the clay-court Grand Slam. Katie Boulter, the highest-ranked British woman in the singles draw, and Sonay Kartal both lost in the second round. Emma Raducanu's run in Paris was also ended in round two with a straight-set defeat by Poland's Swiatek. Jodie Burrage was the only British player to lose in the first round, beaten by former world number seven Danielle Collins in straight sets. ## When was the French Open draw? The French Open singles draw took place on Thursday, 22 May. There are 128 players in each singles draw and the top 32 are seeded according to their ranking. ## What time do the matches take place? Play takes place from 11am local time (10:00 BST) at Roland Garros, with the night sessions beginning not before 20:15 (19:15 BST). ## French Open 2025 schedule 8 June: Men's singles final ## Related topics -

World number two Coco Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday to lift her second major singles title. With no Rafael Nadal in the men's draw after the record 14-time champion retired in 2024, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are looking to add another major title to their growing collections. They will meet on Sunday - and there will be comprehensive coverage of the final across the BBC. When is the French Open 2025? The clay-court Grand Slam started on Sunday, 25 May and finishes on Sunday, 8 June. The women's singles final takes place on Saturday, 7 June, with the men's final concluding the tournament a day later. How to follow the French Open on the BBC There will be daily live text commentaries of the key matches from the French Open on the BBC Sport website and app. 5 Live Sport has daily coverage and commentary live from Court Philippe-Chatrier across 5 Live Sport, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website. Tennis correspondent Russell Fuller will be joined by Katie Smith, Abigail Johnson and David Law, with analysis from Annabel Croft, Greg Rusedski, Naomi Broady, Ryan Harrison, Daniela Hantuchova and others. Who won the French Open in 2024? Alcaraz won his first French Open title last year, coming back from two sets to one down to see off Alexander Zverev in the men's singles. Spain's Alcaraz is a four-time major champion, having gone on to defend his Wimbledon title just five weeks later. Iga Swiatek arrived at Roland Garros as the three-time defending champion in the women's singles, beating Jasmine Paolini in last year's final. Swiatek had won four of the past five women's singles titles at Roland Garros - however, her semi-final exit means there will be a new name on the trophy in 2025. What is the prize money? The total prize money for the French Open is 56.352m euros (£47.5m) - an increase on last year of 5.21%. The men's and women's singles champions will win 2.55m euros, with the runner-up taking home 1.275m euros. Who is still in contention? Men's world number one Sinner and second-ranked Alcaraz, the favourites on the men's side, are both through to the final. The pair recently contested the Italian Open final, [with Alcaraz emerging triumphant.](https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/articles/c5y6g49le80o) Sinner ended Novak Djokovic's latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set win over the three-time French Open champion on Friday night. That came after Alcaraz moved into his second successive Roland Garros final following Lorenzo Musetti's retirement in the fourth set of their semi-final. Alcaraz led 4-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-0 2-0 when Italian eighth seed Musetti was forced to end the match early because of injury. How did British players fare in main draw?
