Four British Women Enter French Open 2025 Main Draw

Britain's Francesca Jones is close to making her first main draw appearance at the French Open after reaching the final round of qualifying, following a comeback win against Japan's Mai Hontama. However, she ultimately lost to Ukraine's Anastasiia Sobolieva, ending her bid. Other British players such as Katie Boulter, Emma Raducanu, Sonay Kartal, and Jodie Burrage have already secured spots in the women's singles main draw, while Jack Draper, Jacob Fearnley, and Cameron Norrie are competing in the men's draw. Defending French Open champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek face challenges from several outsiders, with betting favorites including world number one Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner. Swiatek, despite recent struggles and a drop in ranking, remains a strong contender as she aims for a fourth consecutive French Open title. The tournament begins amid anticipation of potential upsets and the emergence of new challengers on the clay surface.
