French Open 2026 tennis rankings and TV coverage

Roars will be heard at Court Philippe-Chatrier and at Roland-Garros, while Sunday marks the start of the 2026 French Open.

With back-to-back champion Carlos Alcaraz absent, world number 1 Jannik Sinner is the big favorite in the men’s singles. The Italian is chasing history, as a first French Open title would see him complete the grand slam of his career.

Aryna Sabalenka tops the competitive women’s draw, which includes 2025 winner Coco Gauff, who defeated her in last year’s final, and four-time champion Iga Swiatek.

Great Britain is well represented in Paris, but Jack Draper’s injury and Emma Raducanu’s decline in the WTA rankings leave Cameron Norrie the only seeded player and hopes for a first winner since Sue Barker in 1976 appear slim.

Raducanu and compatriot Fran Jones both play their openers on Sunday, when the two players expected to push Sinner furthest in the men’s tournament – second seed Alexander Zverev and 24-time major champion Novak Djokovic – both begin their challenges.

One of the best fortnights on the tennis calendar is upon us and British viewers can tune in for comprehensive coverage of Roland-Garros.
