- Notable Absences and Title Favorites at Roland Garros 2025

The elite of the tennis world will come together at a tournament with only notable absences of Zhizhen Zhang and Nick Kyrgios, noting that this will be the first edition without Nadal. Among the women, there are no significant absences either, so everything is set to see if Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner can assert their favoritism and meet in a dream final, just like Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka in the women's draw.

Alexander Zverev will be the main contender, along with a Novak Djokovic who dreams of regaining his best form at the Parisian Grand Slam. Other alternatives to the established power are Lorenzo Musetti, Jack Draper, Casper Ruud, and Tommy Paul, as well as classics like Medvedev, Rublev, Dimitrov, Fritz, Tsitsipas, or the young Rune. Among the women, everything is even more open, with Cori Gauff, Jasmine Paolini, and Mirra Andreeva as the main candidates to prevent a clash in the final between a Polish and a Belarusian player.
