The 2026 French Open is a Grand Slam tennis tournament being held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France from 24 May to 7 June 2026.[1]
The 2026 French Open is retaining the use of human line judges, unlike the other Grand Slam tournaments which have shifted to electronic line calling.[2][3][4] Starting at the 2026 French Open, the Grand Slam tournaments is permitting the use of connected devices by players for the first time, such as the Whoop bands, allowing players access to a broader range of performance-related information during competition.[5]
Two-time reigning men's singles champion Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his title, as he withdrew before the start of the tournament due to a wrist injury.[6] Coco Gauff was the defending champion in women's singles but lost in the third round to Anastasia Potapova.[7]
The women's doubles defending champions pair, Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani, did not defend their title together, as Paolini decided to only play at the singles draw of this edition due to a foot injury, leaving Errani to play alongside Lilli Tagger.[8][9][10] Errani and Tagger stopped at the 2nd round, being defeated by Demi Schuurs and Ellen Perez.[11][12]
Special events
[edit]The French Open tournament is commemorating its heritage, history, and past champions during the 2026 edition through a series of official tributes and ceremonies.[5]
A ceremony honoring Caroline Garcia is scheduled to take place on Court Philippe-Chatrier on 4 June 2026, between the women’s singles semifinals. Garcia, a former world No. 4, concluded her professional career in 2025 after 19 seasons on the tour.[5]
In addition, a tribute was organized on 26 May 2026 to mark the 70th anniversary of Althea Gibson’s victory at the 1956 French Championships. By winning the singles title, Gibson became the first woman of color to claim a Grand Slam singles championship.[5]
On the men’s side, Stan Wawrinka—the 2015 champion and 2017 finalist— competed in his 21st and final appearance at Roland-Garros in 2026. Tournament organizers honored him following his last match at Porte d’Auteuil, which was a defeat to Jesper De Jong on the first round, held on the 25th of May.[5] The tribute included a video showing moments of Wawrinka's career, specifically those at the French Open, and followed with a speech by Wawrinka, a presentation of a custom trophy, and a video with words from active and retired tennis players, such as Carlos Alcaraz, Gaël Monfils, Roger Federer, Jannik Sinner, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and others.[13]
Later, on that same day, Gaël Monfils made his final appearance at the tournament. A formal tribute was held on court after his last match, which was a defeat on the first round to compatriot Hugo Gaston. [5][14] The tribute consisted of a video showing moments of Monfils at the French Open across his career, and later also included a speech by him. A custom trophy was also given to Monfils. At the end, a video containing words from various active and former tennis players, such as Richard Gasquet, Stan Wawrinka, Roger Federer, Amelie Mauresmo, Arthur Fils, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and others, was shown, followed by a on court appearance from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Richard Gasquet, to honor Monfils in person.[14]
Gael and friends
[edit]Monfils also headlined a special exhibition event on 21 May 2026 at Court Philippe-Chatrier, featuring appearances by current and former players, as well as figures from outside the sport, such as Jannik Sinner, Maria Sakkari, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Belinda Bencic, Elina Svitolina, Naomi Osaka and others. [15]
The event, called "Gael and friends", was organized in a celebratory format and included an exhibition tennis tournament in a mixed doubles format with custom rules, which Monfils was the winner, playing alongside his wife Elina Svitolina. [15] It also featured entertainment segments, featuring names such as DJ Martin Solveig, singer Matt Pokora and comedian Paul de Saint Sernin.[16] The event ended with a Q&A segment with Monfils and messages from his fans, friends and family.[5]
Proceeds from this event were donated to several charitable organisations, including the French Tennis Federation’s fundraising foundation, Terre d’Impact, as well as partner charities such as KELINA, founded by Flora Coquerel, and the Epic Foundation. [16]
