From May 25 to June 8, the 124th French Open was held on the courts of the Roland Garros sports complex in Paris. It was the second Grand Slam tournament of the year. 1xBet Philippines legit sports betting site, summed up the results of the most prestigious clay court competition.

New records

The tournament’s first major milestone was set long before the qualifying round began. This season, the total prize pool of the French major reached a record €56.352 million, 5.21% more than in 2024.

From a sports point of view, the 2025 French Open was remembered for having the world’s number one and number two players reach both the men’s and women’s finals. Nothing like this had happened at a Grand Slam since the 2013 US Open, and on the Paris courts, not since 1984.

Men’s singles final

The matches between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are already new tennis classics. Most likely, the next 8–10 years will be marked by the dominance of the 22-year-old Spaniard and the 23-year-old Italian.

The history of head-to-head games between Jannik and Carlos is a topic for a separate 1xBet review. Before the final match in Paris, the head-to-head score was 8–5 in favor of Alcaraz. On May 18, these players met in the Rome Masters final, where Sinner lost without winning a set (6-7, 1-6) to his main rival. Three weeks later, the ATP ranking leader was eager to take revenge for that painful loss.

1xBet analysts saw the players’ chances as almost equal. Before the match, Sinner’s potential win was rated at 1.94, while Alcaraz’s possible victory had odds of 1.89.

Despite being out of play for three months due to suspension, Jannik won the first two sets (6-4, 7-6) in a tough fight and was already imagining lifting the prestigious trophy.

However, in the third set, Alcaraz managed to turn the battle around (6-4), and the saving chance no longer seemed so slim. In the fourth set, the Spanish player won the tiebreak (7-3), not only leveling the overall score but also gaining a psychological advantage before the final set.

During the third tiebreak, discouraged Sinner was down 0-7 and managed to win only 2 points. Alcaraz, after an amazing comeback win, became Roland Garros champion again but still stayed the world’s number two. However, Carlos leads Jannik in Grand Slam titles (5–3).

Women’s singles final

Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff reached the Roland Garros final for the first time in their careers. The Belarusian was seen as the clear favorite with odds of 1.42, despite their tied head-to-head record (5-5). In the first set, Sabalenka barely beat Gauff in the tiebreak (7-5). In the next two sets, the American showed that pre-match odds don’t decide everything in big sports. Aryna once again lacked mental toughness, which led to her making 70 unforced errors compared to 30 by her opponent.

The young American tennis player earned €2.55 million in prize money by winning a hard-fought match with a score of 6-7, 6-2, 6-4. The loss did not shake Sabalenka’s top spot in the WTA rankings, and her lead over second-place Gauff remains strong, almost 3,500 points. The 21-year-old Coco won her second Grand Slam and came close to Arina, who has 3 major titles.
