With the incredible emotions given by Jannik Sinner at the Internazionali d’Italia still in our eyes, it is already time to think about Roland Garros, the last major event of the season on clay. The long qualifying process has begun in Paris, but there are already those who are anxiously awaiting the main draw for the main draw, the date and time of which have already been announced, especially to find out what path will await the tournament’s compulsory favorite, Jannik Sinner.

The draw pairings will be drawn on Thursday, May 21, at 2 p.m., one day before the conclusion of the qualifying. The position of the top two seeded players is already known: in the men’s draw Jannik Sinner is in the top section and Alexander Zverev in the bottom one; in the women’s draw it is Aryna Sabalenka who is in the “top section,” while Elena Rybakina is in the “bottom half.”

Among the men, in a tournament that will be without world No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 11 Lorenzo Musetti, both of whom are injured, wild cards have already been announced: they are Frenchmen Titouan Droguet, Hugo Gaston, Arthur Gea, Moise Koiamé, Gael Monfils and Clement Tabur, as well as American Nishesh Basavareddy and Australian Adam Walton, among others. Chinese Zhang Zhizhen and Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis will be able to take advantage of the “protected ranking” rule instead.

Between the women, on the other hand, the wild cards will be hosts Clara Burel, Ksenia Efremova, Fiona Ferro, Leolia Jeanjean, Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah and Alice Cubello, in addition to Australian Emerson Jones and American Akasha Urhobo. On the other hand, the “protected ranking” may be taken advantage of by Spain’s Sara Sorribes Tormo, Switzerland’s Jil Teichmann, Montenegrin Danka Kovinic and Ukraine’s Anhelina Kalinina.

The Roland Garros main draw will see its first matches on the court on Sunday, May 24, before concluding with finals on Saturday, June 6 (women’s singles and men’s doubles) and Sunday, June 7 (women’s doubles and men’s singles). The holder among the men is Carlos Alcaraz, who will not be present due to a wrist injury, while defending the women’s title will be Coco Gauff, this year’s No. 4 seed.
