The women’s draw looks wide open: Elena Rybakina has beaten Sabalenka in two major finals, Iga Swiatek seeks to revive her clay supremacy, Coco Gauff defends her crown, and Elina Svitolina arrives buoyed by her Rome triumph.
Dark horses like Marta Kostyuk and Mirra Andreeva add intrigue, ensuring Paris will test whether Sabalenka can reassert control or cede ground to rivals.
