Jack Draper is the only seeded British player in Paris but he goes with a real shot at clinching his maiden Grand Slam title and ranks No. 5 in the world and the seedings. He didn't make the top 32 last year.

World No. 38 Katie Boulter has narrowly missed out on the seedings by a few places, but can make significant gains here due to losing in the first round last time.

The British contingent looks strong in 2025. Emma Raducanu has surged up to No. 43 after finding a rhythm of good results, while Sonay Kartal is on the verge of cracking the top 50.

In the men's game, Jack Fearnley is also threatening to break into the top 50, though Cam Norrie has fallen down to No. 90 from a previous peak of No. 8 in 2022.
