In the Men's Singles, Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming 3/10 favourite to win the 2026 French Open after Carlos Alcaraz was ruled out with a wrist injury that will also keep him sidelined for Wimbledon. The Italian arrives at Roland Garros in imperious form after completing a clay-court clean sweep in Monte-Carlo, Madrid and Rome, and will now aim to go one better in Paris after last year’s all-time classic final defeat to Alcaraz. Victory in Paris would also complete the career Grand Slam for the world number one.
Alexander Zverev is next in the market at 11/1 as the 2024 finalist continues his pursuit of a first Grand Slam title. The German has enjoyed another strong clay season and once again looks comfortable on the slower surface, but his struggles against Sinner remain a major concern. After winning four of their first five meetings, Zverev has now lost nine in a row to the Italian, including defeat in the Madrid final earlier this spring.
Novak Djokovic follows at 12/1, with the 24-time Grand Slam champion searching for a first major title since 2023. The Serbian’s experience and pedigree at the majors can never be discounted, although the physical demands of five-set tennis on clay continue to pose questions as he approaches the latter stages of his career. However, he showed earlier this year that he can still trouble the very best by beating Sinner in the Australian Open semi-finals, and with Alcaraz absent from the draw there may be renewed belief that one final Roland Garros run is possible for the 38-year-old.
Arthur Fils (20/1) leads the home hopes after another breakthrough clay campaign that saw the Frenchman lift the ATP 500 title in Barcelona before reaching the semi-finals in Madrid. Still only 21, his explosive baseline game and growing confidence have quickly made him one of the most dangerous young players on tour. Casper Ruud (20/1) also looks well placed to challenge once again on his favourite surface after reaching another Rome final in the build-up to Paris. The Norwegian has twice finished runner-up at Roland Garros and few players on the ATP Tour can match his consistency on clay over the last several seasons.
Rafael Jodar (22/1), Daniil Medvedev (40/1) and Brazilian wonderkid Joao Fonseca (50/1) are among the outside contenders to go all the way at Roland Garros.
