French Open to crown new men's and women's singles champions

The 2026 French Open will see the crowning of first-time Grand Slam champions in both the men's and women's singles after significant upsets during the tournament. Iga Świątek, a four-time champion, was eliminated by Marta Kostyuk in the fourth round. Novak Djokovic, once a top contender, lost in the third round, leaving Alexander Zverev as a key favorite for the men’s title. The tournament has faced additional challenges, including protests by players regarding revenue sharing and the impact of a record heat wave in France. Notable players remain in the women’s draw, including Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka, who will compete in the first women’s night match in three years.
