Jannik Sinner could face three-time champion Novak Djokovic on his way to glory at the French Open. The draw released on Thursday has the world number one in the same half as the record Grand Slam winner and they could face each other in the semi-finals.

The Italian ace - who had not played since the 2025 Australian Open - was very competitive in the first set, also having two set points in the twelfth game, before suffering a drastic drop in the second set and allowing the young Spaniard to win the seventh Masters 1000 of his career.

Jannik Sinner will aim for a rare Grand Slam achievement at the French Open, one that only Novak Djokovic has managed in recent years.

Carlos Alcaraz will try to defend his 2024 Roland Garros title at the 2025 French Open, which begins on Sunday. Alcaraz defeated Jannik Sinner in Rome and was a finalist in Barcelona, so it has been a successful clay-court swing for him thus far.

After his dominant win over Casper Ruud, Jannik Sinner matched an elite record held by Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, and Rafael Nadal.

Also included in the top half of the draw alongside world No 1 Jannik Sinner, who recently made his comeback from a three-month doping ban, and 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic is Alexander Zverev who had lost to Carlos Alcaraz in the final at Roland Garros last year.

Novak Djokovic finally secured a win on clay since the 2024 Paris Olympics. On Wednesday (May 21), he went past Hungary’s Marton Fucsovics 6-2, 6-3 in the Geneva Open. The World No.6 is chasing his first title of the season as well as his first since the Paris Olympics where he defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the final to win the gold medal for the first time in his career.
