The defending French Open champ has beaten Sinner four times in a row, including two clay-court matchups: a five-set Alcaraz win in last year's French Open semis and a 7-6, 6-1 decision last week in Rome.
Still, he won the Munich title in April and has reached the French Open semifinals for four straight years.
10 Paula Badosa (quarterfinals)Jessica Pegula has passed the third round of the French Open only once, but the 2024 US Open finalist remains one of tennis' steadiest forces.
10 Paula Badosa (first round)Naomi Osaka faces a difficult draw at the 2025 French Open.
She has won only one French Open match since, but is unbeaten on clay in 2025 against players not named Aryna Sabalenka.
