​Cash, clash, clay: On the French Open 2026

Jannik Sinner is a strong French Open favorite, potentially the quickest male to win all four Majors after Laver. His dominant form, Alcaraz's injury, and Djokovic's limited play boost his chances. The women's field is open, with Sabalenka, Swiatek, Gauff, and Rybakina as top contenders, each facing specific challenges on clay. Sabalenka lacks a clay final; Swiatek aims for another Roland-Garros title. The article notes player dissatisfaction regarding prize money, advocating for fairer distribution for the sport's health.
