Few aspects can determine the course of a Grand Slam like Roland Garros 2026 more than the order of the seeds. There will be 32 men who cannot face each other before the third round, but based on their positions in the ATP ranking, the draw can result in some matchups, such as Rafael Jódar against Jannik Sinner. We analyze it in detail round by round.

The focus of every tennis fan will be on Paris in the coming weeks, with the excitement of a Roland Garros 2026 full of incentives and many uncertainties to be determined. One of the most intriguing aspects, the seedings order, already has an answer, giving everyone several days to let their imagination run wild regarding the possible matchups round by round. The draw will take place on Thursday, and the current ATP ranking narrows down the possibilities significantly, which we analyze in detail.

This is how the draw is organized for Roland Garros 2026

It is necessary to remember that in every Grand Slam, the individual draws consist of 128 players, with 32 of them having the privilege, earned through hard work, of being seeds. This means that they cannot face each other in the first and second rounds, while their specific position in the ATP ranking determines when they can meet. Winning Roland Garros 2026 will require coming out victorious from seven five-set matches, one of the great challenges in the world of sports.

  4. Félix Auger-Aliassime
  5. Ben Shelton
  6. Taylor Fritz
  7. Daniil Medvedev
  8. Álex de Miñaur
  9. Alexander Bublik
  10. Flavio Cobolli
  11. Andrey Rublev
  12. Jiri Lehecka
  13. Karen Khachanov
  14. Luciano Darderi
  15. Casper Ruud
  16. Valentin Vacherot
  17. Arthur Fils
  18. Learner Tien
  19. Frances Tiafoe

  22. Arthur Rinderknech
  23. Tommy Paul
  24. Tomás Martín Etcheverry
  25. Fran Cerúndolo
  26. Jakub Mensik
  27. Rafael Jódar
  28. Joao Fonseca
  29. Tallon Griekspoor
  30. Corentin Moutet
  31. Alejandro Tabilo
  32. Brandon Nakashima

 

Yes, I know what you're thinking. Rafael Jódar could face Jannik Sinner in the third round. Also Joao Fonseca. Both the Italian and the top eight seeds will eagerly watch the draw, well aware that if they potentially cross paths with the Spaniard or the Brazilian, things could be tougher than expected at that stage of the tournament. Tabilo in great form, the always tough Cerúndolo, or the talented Mensik could pose interesting obstacles for the favorites.

Sinner and Ruud, potential clash at Roland Garros

Looking ahead to the round of 16, Sinner, Zverev, or Djokovic could face a dangerous player on these courts like Casper Ruud, a significant threat among the four names potentially meeting them at that stage. It will be fascinating to see what Vacherot is capable of after his strong performance in Monte Carlo, which was not replicated in the subsequent events. Khachanov or Darderi are formidable players but seemingly less troubling for the favorites.

Considering the quarterfinals, it might be Daniil Medvedev who causes the most concern for the top players, as De Miñaur, Fritz, and Shelton do not appear to be in their best form. All of them will hope to fall into the same section as Félix Auger-Aliassime, a player who enters as the fourth seed but seems far from being among the top contenders for the title.

  3. Iga Swiatek
  4. Cori Gauff
  5. Jessica Pegula
  6. Amanda Anisimova
  7. Elina Svitolina
  8. Mirra Andreeva
  9. Victoria Mboko
  10. Karolina Muchova
  11. Belinda Bencic
  12. Linda Noskova
  13. Jasmine Paolini
  14. Ekaterina Alexandrova
  15. Marta Kostyuk
  16. Naomi Osaka
  17. Iva Jovic
  18. Liudmila Samsonova
  19. Madison Keys
  20. Clara Tauson
  21. Sorana Cirstea
  22. Anna Kalinskaya
  23. Elise Mertens
  24. Leylah Fernández
  25. Diana Shnaider
  26. Hailey Baptiste
  27. Marie Bouzkova
  28. Anastasia Potapova
  29. Jelena Ostapenko
  30. Ann Li
  31. Cristina Bucsa
  32. Yafan Wang

 

Serious threats to the top female players from the third round, with Ostapenko and Potapova as formidable rivals to avoid, capable of defeating anyone on a day of inspiration. Shnaider could also pose a significant challenge in that hypothetical third round. Looking ahead to the round of 16, the looming danger of Marta Kostyuk, the reigning champion in Madrid, cannot be underestimated, as she will be perceived as the major obstacle for the top players at that stage.

Sabalenka, potential matchups at Roland Garros

Regarding the quarterfinals, it seems that the top four seeds will face tough challenges from any of their potential opponents in the penultimate round. Svitolina, Pegula, and Andreeva appear capable of anything, while Anisimova, lacking competitive rhythm, would be the most favorable rival for the best. In conclusion, there is much to enjoy in a Roland Garros 2026 that will capture the attention of millions worldwide.
