The singles draw for the 2025 French Open will take place on May 22.

That’s when we’ll know who is playing who in the opening round as well as the projected routes for each player to the finals.

When is French Open qualifying?

Before the main draw, there is a qualifying tournament for players ranked below the world top 104. French Open qualifying begins on May 19.

The men’s and women’s main draw each feature 128 singles players. The top 104 players automatically gain direct entry, with 16 qualifying spots up for grabs, which totals 120.

What are French Open wildcards?

There are then eight French Open wildcard spots up for grabs. Roland-Garros organisers get to decide who will be picked as wildcards.

They are usually reserved for local players, so it is likely that the vast majority will be French players who did not automatically qualify.

The French Open organisers may also decide to pick former Grand Slam champions or any other players who may attract large crowds and TV viewing figures.
