The men’s singles bracket published on ESPN displays ninety six direct acceptances, sixteen qualifiers, and eight wildcards.
Top seed Carlos Alcaraz heads quarter one alongside two time finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas, while Jannik Sinner anchors quarter four with recent Monte Carlo winner Ben Shelton.
Projected round of sixteen clashes include Alcaraz against Frances Tiafoe and Sinner versus Casper Ruud, though upsets remain a Roland Garros staple, as last year’s early exit of Daniil Medvedev reminded observers.
Opening day features three first round night matches on Chatrier, a scheduling choice designed to ease player workloads under mild evening temperatures and maximise global prime time viewership.
Live brackets on the tournament website update point by point, while ESPN’s digital bracket challenge invites fans to predict outcomes for prizes ranging from signed rackets to hospitality tickets at the United States Open.
Second week tickets already show limited availability, proof that deep runs by popular seeds intensify spectator appetite for clay court endurance battles.
