Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz are the top seeds and favorites at Roland Garros. The two great rivals met on Court Philippe-Chatrier on Friday during the practice session. Carlos trained with Francisco Cerundolo while Jannik hit with Casper Ruud. The Spaniard and the Italian exchanged a couple of words, with their coaches joining them.

Jannik Sinner, the home hero, marching through Rome. Adoring crowds. A raucous atmosphere. And the world No 1 back on his perch. While he was allowed to train during his doping suspension, it seemed reasonable to expect him to lack his usual sharpness on his return to competition.

No. 1-ranked Jannik Sinner makes his Grand Slam return from a doping suspension, and Carlos Alcaraz tries to win a second consecutive title at Roland-Garros as the 2025 French Open gets started Sunday.
