The 2026 French Open took place at Stade Roland Garros in Paris from 24 May to 7 June, delivering historic first-time champions in both singles draws. Alexander Zverev defeated Flavio Cobolli in five sets for his maiden major title, becoming the first German man to win a Grand Slam since Boris Becker in 1996 and the first player other than Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz to win a major since 2023, while Mirra Andreeva beat Maja Chwalińska in straight sets to become the fourth Russian woman to claim the Roland Garros trophy. The tournament saw major upsets, as defending champion Carlos Alcaraz withdrew with a wrist injury and Coco Gauff fell in the third round, leaving no former major champions in the singles semifinals. Uniquely among Grand Slams, the event retained human line judges but allowed players to use connected devices like Whoop bands for performance data for the first time. In doubles, Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos successfully defended their title without dropping a set, while Diede de Groot captured her sixth French Open wheelchair singles crown. The fortnight also celebrated its heritage with tributes to retiring legends Stan Wawrinka and Gaël Monfils, a ceremony for Caroline Garcia, and the 70th anniversary of Althea Gibson's historic 1956 victory.
