2025 Roland Garros Women’s Singles Entry List: Swiatek, Gauff, Sabalenka & More
The 2025 French Open is set to commence on May 25 at Roland Garros, and the women’s singles entry list has been officially announced, featuring a blend of seasoned champions and rising stars.
Swiatek Aims for Fifth Title
Defending champion Iga Swiatek returns to Paris with aspirations of securing her fifth Coupe Suzanne-Lenglen. Despite not clinching a title in 2025 thus far, Swiatek’s dominance on clay remains undisputed, having won four of the last five French Opens. This tournament marks her first major appearance under the guidance of coach Wim Fissette, known for his previous collaborations with top players like Naomi Osaka.
Sabalenka and Gauff Lead the Charge
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is poised to challenge Swiatek’s reign. After a semifinal appearance in 2023 and a quarterfinal run in 2024, Sabalenka seeks her first Roland Garros title. Her powerful game has translated well to clay, evidenced by deep runs in Madrid and Rome last year.
Coco Gauff, the 2022 finalist, also returns with high hopes. While she has yet to capture a major title on clay, Gauff’s athleticism and previous success in Paris make her a formidable contender. She began the year strongly, contributing to Team USA’s United Cup victory, but has faced challenges in maintaining consistency since the Australian Open.
Emerging Talents and Notable Entrants
Teen sensation Mirra Andreeva, who reached the semifinals in 2024, has continued her ascent by winning WTA 1000 titles in Dubai and Indian Wells this year. Her victories over top players, including Swiatek and Sabalenka, signal her readiness to contend for major titles.
Qinwen Zheng, the reigning Olympic gold medalist, returns to the site of her triumph, aiming to build on her success. Other notable entrants include Madison Keys, the 2025 Australian Open champion; Elena Rybakina, a consistent performer on clay; and Jasmine Paolini, last year’s runner-up who made a remarkable run to the final.
