On the men’s side, Jannik Sinner, the world’s number one, and Alcaraz, the second-ranked pair, are favorites.
Due to their seedings, the two competitors did not meet until the final of the Italian Open final, with Alcaraz winning.
Novak Djokovic, a three-time champion in Paris, will increase his bid for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam singles title, despite his inconsistent form this year.
Swiatek has been a strong favorite in the women’s draw, but this year’s draw features a mixed clay-court swing.
Both Coco Gauff and top-seed Aryna Sabalenka enjoyed successful clay seasons. Gauff made the Italian Open final two weeks after Sabalenka defeated Gauff to win the Madrid Open.

After putting together an impressive clay-court swing, Jack Draper is now the highest British singles player in either draw.
