The excitement for the French Open has increased tenfold this afternoon following the draw being made for the tournament, which gets underway at Roland Garros on Sunday. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> is bidding to win a second crown at this event and will defend the title which he won in some style during 2024. <\/p>\n

Hot on his heels chasing a first Roland Garros<\/a> victory is the world number one Jannik Sinner<\/a> and after a three-month absence, it remains to be seen how he will shape up at the Grand Slam event. <\/p>\n

Other names will come into contention too, with Novak Djokovic<\/a> chasing a 25th major and the likes of Jack Draper<\/a>, Alexander Zverev<\/a>, Taylor Fritz<\/a> and Holger Rune<\/a> all looking to win a maiden major. <\/p>\n

Sinner will be the man with the most eyes on him following his time away from the game, however, and it would appear that his draw has caused quite the stir. <\/p>\n

It would appear as though Sinner will have to do this the hard way if he\u2019s to get his hands on a maiden French Open title this year. <\/p>\n

Sinner has been handed a tricky-looking draw and tennis fans are all in total agreement that the Italian has been somewhat unlucky with the hand he\u2019s been dealt.<\/p>\n

Definitely a tougher draw than Alc that\u2019s for sure<\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner\u2019s draw at the French Open<\/p>\n

It certainly feels as though fans are right when it comes to discussing Sinner\u2019s draw at the upcoming Grand Slam. <\/p>\n

Sinner has been handed some mouthwatering games should the draw pan out true to form and in the order of the world rankings. <\/p>\n\nRound<\/td>\nPotential Opponent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nR1<\/td>\nArthur Rinderknech<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nR2<\/td>\nRichard Gasquet\/Terence Atmane<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nR3<\/td>\nAlejandro Davidovich Fokina\/Jiri Lehecka<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nR4<\/td>\nArthur Fils\/Andrey Rublev\/Nicolas Jarry<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nQF<\/td>\nJack Draper\/Alex de Minaur\/Jakub Mensik\/Hubert Hurkacz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSF<\/td>\nAlexander Zverev\/Novak Djokovic\/Grigor Dimitrov\/Francisco Cerundolo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nF<\/td>\nCarlos Alcaraz\/Taylor Fritz\/Lorenzo Musetti\/Casper Ruud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Jannik Sinner potential opponents at the French Open<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old won\u2019t be fazed, however, and he will have the knowledge that on his day, he can beat anyone, given how far ahead he is in his position at the top of the ATP world rankings. <\/p>\n

Sinner will know that the world is watching at this tournament, and as a result, he will be keen to put on a show at the French Open and prove that he\u2019s keen to make up for lost time. <\/p>\n
