French Open 2025: The Biggest Winners And Losers At Roland Garros
Jun 8, 2025
The 2025 French Open is in the books and although only a few players left Roland-Garros as champions, there were many winners and losers.
The French Open featured No. 1 versus No. 2 in the men’s and women’s finals. The last time the top two seeds reached the final in men’s and women’s singles at a Grand Slam was in 2013 when Serena Williams faced Victoria Azarenka and Novak Djokovic versus Rafael Nadal. The last time that happened at Roland-Garros was in 1994 when John McEnroe faced Ivan Lendl and Martina Navratilova took on Chris Evert.
Coco Guaff defeated Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 to win the women’s title. Carlos Alcaraz outdueled Jannik Sinner in an instant classic to win the men’s singles title. Sinner and Alcaraz battled so hard, showed such class and resilience that you can't call either a loser. If anything, tennis fans were the biggest winners: treated to two dramatic singles finals.
Sabalenka and Gauff will remain No. 1 and No. 2. So will Sinner and Alcaraz, respectfully. Despite failing to reach the semifinals, Alexander Zverev and Jessica Pegula will remain ranked No. 3.
What will change is momentum heading into the grass-court season. Some players leave Roland-Garros with more confidence and others with more questions. The following are the biggest winners and losers at the 2025 French Open.
