French Open women's singles predictions

There's a more open feel about this year's French Open women's singles and the principal reason for that is because Iga Swiatek, winner on the Roland Garros clay in the last three years and four of the last five, has been struggling on her preferred surface in recent weeks.

That has been enough for the oddsmakers to make world number one Aryna Sabalenka the market leader ahead of the Pole and it really is anyone's guess if it will click for Swiatek in the days leading up to the second Grand Slam tournament of the year.

It's actually difficult to ignore Swiatek's price of 7-2 to lift her fifth French Open trophy, but backers can only be hopeful that things will turn around after losing in the semi-finals in Madrid to Coco Gauff, before exiting in the third round in Rome. 

And considering Sabalenka has done all her major title winning on hard courts, there's not a lot in her price to appeal to potential backers.

She's obviously a big contender but Sabalenka, if successful, will have to do it the hard way. And with lots of close matches likely to have to be overcome in the second week of the Slam, she's fairly easy to overlook in the coming fortnight.

The next two in the betting, Mirra Andreeva and Gauff, look serious contenders for this year's crown, although Gauff, like Sabalenka, may have to battle hard if she is to get over the line.

Gauff has been playing well, though, and found only Jasmine Paolini too good in Rome recently.

However, the one they may all have to beat this year is Andreeva.

The 18-year-old was superb on the Paris clay in 2024 when reaching the semi-finals and she looks capable of making it at least that far one year on.

Andreeva, like Gauff, has talent to burn and the selection can count on some excellent advice with former Wimbledon champion Conchita Martinez in her coaching set-up. Martinez knows clay-court tennis inside out and has plenty to offer her teenage charge from the sidelines.

Some may feel Andreeva is still too young to win a Grand Slam singles title, but the bookmakers clearly disagree - and at 6-1, it might be wise to pay attention to their confidence and back this year's Dubai and Indian Wells heroine to ditch her major maiden tag.

For a second interest on this year’s tournament, it could be worth taking a chance on unheralded Ekaterina Alexandrova to win the fourth quarter of the draw.

Alexandrova has arguably been playing the best tennis of her career this year - she won the indoor tournament in Linz in February - and the 30-year-old could make her presence felt in the bottom quarter.

American trio Gauff, Australian Open champion Madison Keys and Emma Navarro all contest this section of the draw, but none of those players would count themselves as naturals on clay and all would have to toil to a degree just to progress to the semi-finals in Paris.

Alexandrova looks capable of troubling anyone in her section, and this experienced and often unfashionable performer could reach the last four of a Grand Slam singles for the first time.
