But he’ll be forced to work hard to retain his crown as World No.1 Jannik Sinner will be looking to win a third consecutive major title after returning from a three-month doping ban.
Novak Djokovic is chasing a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam despite splitting with coach Andy Murray after spending just six months together.
And Nick Kyrigos could be making a huge return to Roland Garros for the first time since 2016.
Elsewhere, four-time women’s champion Iga Swiatek will be aiming to retain her crown after thrashing Italian star Jasmine Paolini in straight sets during the 2024 final.
However, British icon Emma Raducanu has a point to prove after recently suffering an embarrassing defeat at the hands of American superstar Coco Gauff in the Italian Open.
Furthermore, Raducanu has failed to secure Grand Slam success since her iconic US Open win back in 2021, so she’ll be desperate to propel herself back to the top of the pile.
