From the favorites to the underdogs: Ranking the 2026 French Open contenders

The 2026 French Open contender picture is being reshaped by injuries, withdrawals, and a wide-open men’s draw at Roland Garros. Arthur Fils has withdrawn before his opener with Stan Wawrinka, while Matteo Berrettini’s comeback and Felix Auger-Aliassime’s straight-sets win are part of the early reset among the men. The practical consequence is a changing route to the title, with less certainty for the top names and more room for surprise runs.
