The second grand slam of the tennis season is less than a week away with contests beginning on Sunday, May 25. While the classic red clay of Roland Garros will surely dazzle spectators as always, this year's tournament could offer a different feel for fans.
For one, Rafael Nadal will not be competing. The absence of the 14-time French Open champion will certainly be felt after he retired a year ago. Furthermore, the French Open will be featured on a different channel than usual, which could lead to some confusion among American spectators.

French Open: Aryna Sabalenka Says Title Would Mean The World To Her
PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 05: Aryna Sabalenka gives an on-court interview after her victory over Iga ... More Swiatek of Poland in the Women's Singles Semi Final match on Day Twelve of the 2025 French Open at Roland Garros on June 05, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by) World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka said winning the French Open title would 'mean the world' to her and her team after the Belarusian downed Iga Swiatek to reach her first final on the Parisian clay. Sabalenka is known as a hardcourt specialist, having won three Grand Slam titles on this surface – Australian Open (2023, 2024) and U.S. Open (2024). But the 27-year-old proved on Thursday that she can put up a challenge on clay after defeating claycourt queen Swiatek 7-6(1) 4-6 6-0 in the semifinals, ending the Pole's reign in the French capital, where she has won four titles. "I'm super happy with the win today and beating Iga at Roland Garros," Sabalenka said after her win. "It's just something unbelievable and something I'm super proud of, and yeah, just happy to get through this difficult match." Sabalenka needed two hours and 19 minutes to snap four-time champion Swiatek's 26-match winning streak at the event. Her victory over Swiatek was her tour-leading 40th main-draw win of this season, and she has won her last five Grand Slam semifinal matches. In Saturday's final, Sabalenka will face second-ranked Coco Gauff of the United States, as the World No. 1 and 2 players face off in a French Open final for the first time in more than a decade. Sabalenka and Gauff have a totally deadlocked head-to-head. They are 5-5 overall and 1-1 at Grand Slam events. Top-ranked Sabalenka knows she would need to play her best tennis and work for the title in Saturday's blockbuster clash. "It's going to mean everything to me and my team,' Sabalenka said when asked about the prospect of winning her maiden French Open title. 'Because I have to say that almost like the whole life I've been told where [clay] is not my thing and then I didn't have any confidence. "And in the past I don't know how many years, we've been able to develop my game so much, so I feel really comfortable on this surface and actually enjoy playing on clay. If I'll be able to get this trophy, it's just going to mean the world for us,' Aryna Sabalenka concluded.
