Brit watch
Four Brits have direct entry to the main draw of Roland Garros including British No.1 players Raducanu and Norrie.
Jack Draper has withdrawn from the clay competition due to an injury. He was back in action in February after an arm injury that sidelined him for eight months.
However, despite playing the last few months, he announced that he had suffered a knee injury in April and that he was advised to "not to rush straight back into playing five set tennis on clay."
In the women's side, Sonay Kartal, who has been making waves since she reached the round of 16 at Wimbledon last year, has pulled out of Roland Garros with a back injury.
Raducanu has had a disrupted start to her 2026 campaign after suffering with an illness that is taking a long time to recovery from. However, she was competed at the Strasbourg Open and has received a favourable French Open draw. The 23-year-old is set to avoid the favourites and will play world No. 64 Solana Sierra in the first round.
Katie Boulter will be hoping to better last year's French Open run after getting knocked out in the second round and will face Akasha Urhobo to open her campaign this year.
In the men's draw, Norrie, who plays Paraguayan Adolfo Daniel Vallejo first up is hoping to go a bit further into the tournament this year having made the fourth round last year.
He reached the round of 16 at the Madrid Open at the end of April, but was knocked out by world No. 1 Sinner. During his 2026 campaign, he also reached the quarterfinals at both the Indian Wells and the Barcelona Open.
Jacob Fearnley, who was knocked out in the third round at last year's event by his compatriot Norrie, could potentially face Jannik Sinner in the second round.
No British players have been selected for a wildcard entry.
Who are the global favourites?
Sinner will be the favourite heading into the French Open and has been close to winning on clay after a thrilling final last year, but his biggest rival Carlos Alcaraz came out on top.
However, the Spaniard, who is a two-time winner here, has withdrawn from the tournament after suffering with an wrist injury, meaning this will be Sinner's biggest opportunity to get his hands on the trophy.
The Italian could also face 2024 finalist Alexander Zverev and three-time winner Novak Djokovic.
The women's draw is always a bit more open, but Gauff will be looking to defend her title, whilst Sabalenka could cause trouble. She will be heading into the French Open off the back of winning the Indian Wells and the Miami Open.
Also a threat to Gauff will be Swiatek, who has won the tournament four times and will be looking to claim back her crown.
