If the top seeds hold, the 2025 Roland Garros Men’s draw could deliver some high-stakes rematches and dramatic storylines—especially in the back half of the tournament.
In the top half of the French Open draw, Jannik Sinner faces a tough road through Fils, Draper, and Zverev. We could also see a Djokovic vs. Zverev rematch from the Australian Open final—where Djokovic retired in the second set with a hamstring injury and later posted MRI results to silence any doubts. With Sinner just returning from suspension, Djokovic no longer the dominant force he once was, and Zverev struggling with consistency, the top half of the draw feels wide open.
The bottom half of the French Open draw appears to be straightforward for Alcaraz, who’s expected to face Shelton, Ruud, and Fritz. Given how dominant he looked in the Rome final—beating Sinner 7-6(5), 6-1—the path to a rematch vs Sinner is favorable, barring any injuries.
Here are the projected matchups from the 3rd round and beyond—assuming there are no upsets.
