Roland-Garros 2025: How to Watch and Key Favorites

PARIS, France — The 2025 edition of the Roland-Garros tennis tournament kicks off on May 25 and runs until June 8, promising to deliver high-stakes matches as top players compete on the clay courts of Paris.

This year’s tournament holds special significance as it marks the first edition since the retirement of Rafael Nadal, who dominated the event with 14 titles. Nadal will be honored during the opening ceremony on May 25, which will take place on the Philippe-Chatrier court.

Last year’s champion, Carlos Alcaraz, enters the tournament as one of the favorites, having secured two Masters 1000 titles recently and defeating Jannik Sinner in Rome. The Italian, starting the tournament as the world number one, returns from a three-month suspension, raising questions about his form against Alcaraz in best-of-three sets matches.

Another contender, Novak Djokovic, faces uncertainty as he navigates a challenging start to his season, leaving predictions about his performance unpredictable. Finalists from previous years, including Alexander Zverev, Casper Ruud, and Stefanos Tsitsipas, are also in the mix, while young talents like Jack Draper, Holger Rune, and French player Arthur Fils look to cause disruptions in the competition.

Matches begin daily at 11 a.m. local time, with daytime broadcasts on France 2, France 3, and France 4, along with the new digital channel France.tv dedicated to Roland-Garros coverage.

For fans wanting to watch the Night Sessions, which begin at 8:15 p.m. each night, Amazon Prime Video will stream these matches exclusively. Subscribers can also catch two quarter-finals, the semi-finals, and final matches included in their membership.

As the anticipation builds for this iconic tournament, players will not only seek the prestigious title but also honor the legacy of Rafael Nadal, reminding everyone of his incredible impact on the sport.
