Former World No. 1 Jim Courier has voiced his surprise at the decision by several top 10 players to compete in ATP events just days before the French Open.

The wildcards for the 2025 French Open have been announced, with the inclusion of the 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka, as well as the French veteran Richard Gasquet.

Carlos Alcaraz has never played his best tennis yet during the red clay season in 2025, although he has already won the Monte Carlo Masters 1000 and reached the final in Barcelona (where he injured the adductor in his right leg).

Ruud, known for his clay-court prowess and disciplined baseline game, described Federer’s uncanny ability to vary his shots in ways that left even top-tier opponents guessing. “He could suddenly hit a loopy one and then, like, knife a short slice or rip a fast one on the rise,” Ruud continued. “It was impossible to anticipate.”

On the eve of the tournament that catapulted her to global tennis stardom, Iga Swiatek is going through one of the most challenging periods of her career.

Three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka and French veteran Richard Gasquet are among eight men given wild-card entries for the French Open.

To whet fans' appetites ahead of the official reveal, Roland Garros also posted a behind-the-scenes "Making Of" clip late last week, which showcased Nadal studying his script, and testing a microphone, on the grounds of his eponymous tennis academy in Mallorca, Spain.

Italian tennis might be on the rise, but it’s not been great for a certain Matteo Berrettini. The former Wimbledon finalist recently looked to be perfectly ready to compete for the biggest titles in the world.
