Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, the defending champions, are under immense pressure to perform well at the 2025 French Open.
Alcaraz's natural talent and clay-court expertise make him the favorite, although inconsistent recent performances raise some questions.
Swiatek's consistent dominance on clay faces a potential challenge from emerging players like Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva, who possess the skills to upset her.
Failure to win would represent a major setback for both, considering their past achievements and the high expectations surrounding them.
