With demand for tickets ever-increasing for the popular Grand Slam, the tournament has moved to a ballot system this year rather than their standard public sales process. Spectators have until 9 February to register for the draw, with successful entrants given a 2-day slot in March to book their tickets. Within that slot, tickets are sold on a first-come, first-served basis.
Although standard ticket prices for the 2025 edition have not yet been revealed, in 2024 they ranged from €25 for the outer courts during qualifying through to €385 for top-end seating for the men’s final. Fans seeking a more premium spectator experience or who simply wish to guarantee their presence at the event can purchase hospitality. A variety of all-inclusive options are available, ranging from €300 for a single session through to €22,000 for an entire tournament package.
Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Świątek will be battling to defend their titles at the 2025 edition after respectively winning the men’s and women’s singles last year. Świątek will be bidding to win a record 4th consecutive Roland-Garros title – she currently stands level with Monica Seles and Justine Henin with 3 in a row – and 5th overall. The Pole dropped just 3 games as she saw off Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in straight sets in last year’s final, while Alcaraz needed 5 sets to battle past Alexander Zverev.
Zverev will be hoping to bounce back after his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the Australian Open final; the German has now reached 3 Grand Slam finals in his career, but he’s yet to break his duck. As for Sinner, he crashed out of last year’s French Open to eventual winner Alcaraz at the semifinal stage, and he’ll be aiming to go further this time around.
Of course, this will also be the first French Open following Rafael Nadal’s retirement from tennis last year. The Spaniard finished his glittering tennis career with 22 Grand Slam titles including a record 14 on Roland-Garros' clay. While fans won’t get to see the star in action, they may get to witness a tribute to him as the competition enters a new era, so it’s not to be missed!
