The 2025 French Open was a major tennis tournament that was played on outdoor clay courts and held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, from 25 May to 8 June 2025,[1][2][3] comprising singles, doubles, mixed doubles play, junior and wheelchair tournaments.
Carlos Alcaraz defended his title in men's singles by defeating world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the final, which lasted five hours and twenty nine minutes, the longest final in the tournament's history. It was his second French Open title and fifth major.[4] Coco Gauff defeated the world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the women's singles to win her first French Open and second major title.[5] Iga Świątek was the three-time defending champion but lost to Sabalenka in the semifinals.[6]
It was the 124th edition of the French Open and the second major tournament of 2025. The main singles draws included 16 qualifiers for men and 16 for women out of 128 players in each draw.

Tournament
The 2025 French Open was the 124th edition of the French Open and was held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris.
It was the first major since the 2013 US Open in which the world's top two players contested the final of both the women's and men's singles events, and the first at the French Open since 1984.[7][8]
Special events
At the start of the clay-court tournament, the organizers paid tribute to former Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal for being the tournament's most successful player and for also winning his first of 14 singles trophies in 2005, 20 years ago.[9][10]

After his loss against Jannik Sinner at the second round of the singles competition, Richard Gasquet ended his career as a professional tennis player and was honored by the French Open's organizers with a commemorative trophy.[11][12][13]

Men's singles
Carlos Alcaraz defeated 
Jannik Sinner, 4–6, 6–7(4–7), 6–4, 7–6(7–3), 7–6(10–2)
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz[14] defeated Jannik Sinner in the final, 4–6, 6–7(4–7), 6–4, 7–6(7–3), 7–6(10–2) to win the men's singles tennis title.[15] It was his second French Open title and fifth major title overall. Alcaraz came back from two sets down and saved three consecutive championship points en route to the title, becoming the third man in the Open Era to win a major after being championship points down in the final, following Gastón Gaudio at the 2004 French Open and Novak Djokovic at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships. Both players served for the championship (Sinner at 5–4 in the fourth set, Alcaraz at 5–4 in the fifth set), but both were broken.[16]
At 5 hours and 29 minutes, it was the longest French Open final in history (surpassing the 1982 final),[17] and the second-longest major final overall, after the 2012 Australian Open final. Alcaraz was the second man in the Open Era (after Roger Federer) to win his first five major finals[18] and the second-youngest to win a fifth major, behind only Björn Borg (at 22 years and 5 days) and tied with Rafael Nadal (at exact same age of 22 years, 1 month and 3 days).[19] It was the first French Open singles final to be decided in a fifth-set tiebreak (after the tiebreak rule was added in 2022), and the first men's final at any major to be contested by two players born in the 2000s.[20]
Women's singles
Coco Gauff defeated 
Aryna Sabalenka, 6–7(5–7), 6–2, 6–4
Coco Gauff defeated Aryna Sabalenka in the final, 6–7(5–7), 6–2, 6–4 to win the women's singles tennis title.[21] It was her first French Open singles title and second major singles title overall. Gauff was the first American to win the title since Serena Williams in 2015.[22] It was the first French Open final between the world No. 1 and 2 since 2013, and the first at any major since the 2018 Australian Open.[23] Sabalenka was the first woman to reach the final of three consecutive majors since Williams in 2016.[24]
Iga Świątek was the three-time defending champion,[25] but lost in the semifinals to Sabalenka.[26] The defeat ended her 26-match win streak in the event, second only to Chris Evert's 29 consecutive wins.[27]
Ranked No. 361, Loïs Boisson was the first Frenchwoman to reach the singles semifinals of the French Open since Marion Bartoli in 2011, and the first wildcard to do so in the Open Era.[28] Boisson was only the third woman in the Open Era to reach the semifinals of a major on her singles main-draw debut, after Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati at the 1989 and 1990 French Opens, respectively.[29]
The lack of women's matches being played at night at the French Open became a topic of discussion. 2025 was the second consecutive year that the French Tennis Federation did not schedule a women's singles match for a night session on Court Philippe Chatrier.[30] Ons Jabeur said that it was unfortunate and wrote on social media that "honouring one side of the sport shouldn't mean ignoring the other. The women's game has been writing its own legacy loudly, brilliantly, and for far too long without too much recognition." Amélie Mauresmo, the tournament director of the French Open, said that the schedule was not meant to send a message that women were unworthy of playing at night and that the primary consideration for scheduling night sessions was the potential length of a match.[31][32]
