US EditionFrench Open 2025: Doping Cases, Lingering Lawsuit, Players Seek More Slam Money and More to Know
- The 2025 French Open begins Sunday in Paris with 23-year-old Italian Jannik Sinner competing on red clay in best-of-five-set matches.
- Sinner returns after a three-month suspension starting March 2024 due to two positive steroid tests, with clearance announced before the August U.S. Open.
- The ruling accepted Sinner’s explanation that two team members caused accidental exposure, though the World Anti-Doping Agency appealed, and Sinner served a short, timed ban.
- Sinner has won three of the past five majors, including two Australian Opens and last season’s U.S. Open, and begins his French Open run against French player Arthur Rinderknech.
- Sinner faces added pressure at Roland-Garros due to the event’s importance, the crowd favoring local players, and rigorous match format, but aims for consistency and draws confidence from his recent Rome final.
