Aryna Sabalenka follows closely behind with +225 odds to win her fourth major and first French Open title. Behind her is Coco Gauff, who lost to Swiatek in the 2022 French Open final. Her one major came at the 2023 U.S. Open, and Gauff is ready to collect another trophy.

After the win, Alcaraz's team released a strategic schedule for his title defense preparation at Roland Garros. The Spaniard headed home on Monday, May 19, for a relaxing getaway. The trip back home is expected to last for two days, following which he is travelling to Paris with his team on Wednesday.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz occupied the top two spots in the latest ATP Rankings released on Monday, which will be used for this year’s French Open draw.

Novak Djokovic is likely to face a tricky draw when Roland Garros begins May 25, but two-time French Open champion Jim Courier says you can never write off the 24-time major champion. Djokovic is still seeking that record 25th major title to break a tie with Margaret Court atop the all-time list.

Rafael Nadal took to X to congratulate Carlos Alcaraz on winning his maiden Rome Masters title.

In another departure, NBC is no longer the broadcast partner for the French Open. This year's tournament marks the beginning of Warner Bros. Discovery's 10-year deal to broadcast the French Open in the US on TNT Sports. TNT will be the lead network, with additional coverage on TBS and truTV. Every match will also be streamed on Max.
