The tennis festivities in Paris are set to begin as organizers of Roland Garros have determined the seedings. The top contenders are clear: Iga Świątek and Aryna Sabalenka start as the top seeds.

In the men's competition, the first eight seeds are guaranteed not to meet before the quarterfinals. Notably, the first two seeds are Iga Świątek and Alexander Zverev. Zverev, as the world's third-ranked player, benefited from the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, ensuring he won't face Świątek before the final.

Serbian ace Novak Djokovic is seeded third, while fourth seed is Felix Auger-Aliassime. This means Djokovic could potentially face one of the top two contenders as early as the semifinals.

The return of Daniil Medvedev to the elite eight is notable, thanks to his semifinal run in Rome, securing him the seventh seed, which guarantees a smoother path in the early rounds. The top eight also includes Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and Alex de Minaur.

Special attention is drawn to players from the 16th to 32nd seeds, who could be formidable opponents for the top players as early as the third round. This includes names like Arthur Rinderknech, Leonardo Mayer, Cameron Norrie, Jakub Menzel, Rafael Jatyra, and João Sousa.

In the quarterfinals, favorites will face names like Kasper Rüdd, finalist in Rome, Andrey Rublev, and Alexander Bublik.
