French Open 2025: Schedule, Star Players, Dark-Horse Predictions & How to Watch Live
• Hot Trendy News
PARIS – Day seven at Roland Garros promises blockbuster third-round clashes as the 2025 French Open moves into its middle weekend, with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner headlining Court Philippe-Chatrier in the afternoon session and six-time champion Novak Djokovic closing the night slate.
Sinner, unbeaten on clay this season, faces rising Czech left-hander Jakub Mencík after dropping just 15 games through his opening two matches. Djokovic meets hard-serving American Ben Shelton in a rematch of last year’s U.S. Open semifinal, their first showdown on the Paris clay. In the women’s draw, No. 2 seed Coco Gauff opens against France’s Diane Parry, while Jessica Pegula takes on Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto in what many see as a potential upset alert.
What’s at stake
• A record €56.35 million prize purse is on offer this year, up 5.2 % from 2024; singles champions will bank €2.55 million, an increase of €150,000 from last season.
• Ranking points: winners earn 2,000 ATP/WTA points, critical in a season with the Olympic tournament also on Paris clay nine weeks from now.
• Historic milestones: Djokovic is chasing a record-breaking 25th major, while Gauff bids to become the first American woman since Serena Williams to lift La Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen.
Today’s marquee order of play (local time, CET)
12:00 p.m. – Gauff v Parry (Chatrier)
3:00 p.m. – Sinner v Mencík (Chatrier)
Not before 8:30 p.m. – Djokovic v Shelton (Chatrier)
Full schedule, including outer courts, is available on the official Roland-Garros site.
How to watch
In the U.S., live coverage airs on TNT and truTV, with every court streamed on Max; select matches are simul-cast in 4K on the B/R Sports add-on. UK viewers continue to find full-court feeds on Discovery+ and Eurosport 2, while Australia’s Nine Network carries play via 9Gem and Stan Sport.
Surface speed & conditions
Clay speeds remain sluggish after intermittent morning showers and cool temperatures (high 19 °C). Tournament meteorologists predict drier skies for the evening session, favoring aggressive baseline hitters such as Shelton and Alexander Zverev, who meets Holger Rune on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.
Storylines to watch
• French resurgence: Luca Van Assche became the first home-grown man in six years to reach week two by upsetting Stefanos Tsitsipas on Friday; he faces Casper Ruud on Sunday.
• Swiatek’s dominance: top seed Iga Swiatek dropped just five games en route to the fourth round and leads the WTA in Clay-court Elo for the third straight season.
• Doubles spotlight: Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula, seeded No. 1 in women’s doubles, open their campaign against the French wild-card duo of Burel/Benoit.
Road ahead
Round-of-16 play begins Monday, with quarterfinal tickets already sold out. Fans without seats can access the on-site “Garden Court” giant screen or the free Roland-Garros digital radio feed.
Key numbers
56 – consecutive main-draw wins for Swiatek against players ranked outside the top 20 on clay.
21 – tie-breaks won by Sinner in 2025, most on the ATP Tour.
4.6 M – cumulative on-site attendance expected over the fortnight, a new tournament record according to organizers.
As the draw narrows and legends collide with next-gen challengers, the 2025 French Open is set to deliver another weekend of drama under the Parisian skyline.
