Iga Swiatek, who has struggled lately, and Carlos Alcaraz, who has not, got off to good starts in their French Open title defenses Monday.

Reigning men’s champion Alcaraz takes on Fabian Marozsan of Hungary for a place in the third round on Chatrier. After a topsy-turvy start to the year, the four-time Grand Slam winner has hit his straps on clay, winning both the Monte Carlo Masters and Italian Open, as well as reaching the Barcelona Open final.

The French Open returns to Roland Garros for 2025, with a tough draw for Iga Świątek and a kinder one for Carlos Alcaraz.
