Roland Garros is heading for an unmissable conclusion as the sport’s stars continue their march toward more history in Paris.
For the first time in more than 20 years at Roland Garros, and at the first time at any Slam since Australian Open 2005, all top eight women’s seeds are into the last 16.
And the trio combining to win the past 11 singles majors – Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic – have all advanced to the same stage on the men’s side.
Several players preparing to embark on the second week at Roland Garros are playing for some incredible milestones
Here’s what to look out for.
Jannik Sinner
The world No.1 and top seed has been imperious in Paris, not dropping a set en route to the fourth round.
His latest performance was a 6-0 6-1 6-2 demolition of talented Czech Jiri Lehecka, who summed up the experience in this Instagram post.
The reigning US Open and Australian Open champion has built a 17-match winning streak at Grand Slams and should he go on to triumph in Paris, he will have won three Slams in a row.
The only other men to win three in a row in the Open era? Rod Laver, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.
That would set the stage for a Wimbledon campaign where he would be targeting both a non-calendar Slam – four majors in a row – and a career Grand Slam.
Carlos Alcaraz
The player many people believe is the one realistic chance to stop Sinner in Paris is defending champion Carlos Alcaraz.
The Spaniard has been brilliant on clay this year, winning the Monte Carlo and Rome Masters titles and building a 18-1 win-loss record on the surface.
Should he go on to win his second straight French title, he would be a perfect 5-0 in Grand Slam finals.

That would put him closer to the only other man in the Open Era to win his first five major finals – Roger Federer. Federer went 7-0 in his first seven major finals, an Open-era record among men and women.
If either Alcaraz or Sinner hoists the trophy in Paris, they will have combined to win the past six major singles titles, joining a list of notable Grand Slam ‘duopolies’.
Iga Swiatek
The Polish star could go one better than Alcaraz should she triumph in Paris.
Victory would mean she would be 6-0 in her first six Grand Slam finals, matching Monica Seles for the Open-era women’s record.
And there’s plenty more history on the line for Swiatek, who enters the fourth round in 2025 without dropping a set.
Should she reach the final, she would overtake Margaret Court as the woman with the best winning percentage at Roland Garros in the Open era.
And should she win the title, she would become the first women since Suzanne Lenglen, more than 100 years ago, to win four straight women’s singles titles in Paris.
Aryna Sabalenka
Sabalenka might have something to say about that.
The world No.1 entered Roland Garros more motivated and determined than ever after narrowly missing the chance to clinch three consecutive Australian Open titles.
Like Sinner, a win for Sabalenka in Paris would mark her first Roland Garros title and would put her three quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam.
And given she fell in the quarterfinals at Roland Garros last year and missed Wimbledon with injury, she has the opportunity to accrue even more points and increase her stranglehold over the world No.1 ranking.
At Roland Garros this fortnight, Sabalenka has dropped just 10 games on her way to the last 16. She has not fallen before the quarterfinal stage at any Grand Slam tournament in three years.
Madison Keys
The player who stopped Sabalenka in that AO 2025 final, Keys, could join a select group by prevailing in Paris.
Keys survived a battle of AO champions against Sofia Kenin on Saturday to reach the fourth round at Roland Garros for the fifth time.
Now on a 10-match Grand Slam winning streak, four more wins would see her become the first woman in a decade to win the Australian Open and Roland Garros trophies back-to-back.
The last was Serena Williams in 2015, and only three others – Steffi Graf, Monica Seles and Jennifer Capriati – have managed the feat since the Australian Open switched to hard courts in 1988.
Novak Djokovic
The Serbian legend is no stranger to playing for history at Grand Slams, but there are some particularly heady milestones on the line at Roland Garros this year.
Djokovic has hit form at the perfect time, winning his 100th career title last week in Geneva and building a seven-match winning streak in Paris without losing a set. He's now won 99 matches at Roland Garros.
Given he withdrew ahead of last year’s quarterfinal after suffering a meniscus tear, Djokovic has not lost at Roland Garros since 2022, winning his past 14 matches at the tournament. Factor in his six wins at the same venue to win Olympic gold last year, and he’s on a 20-match unbeaten streak at Roland Garros.
Victory at the 2025 French Open would see him become the first player, man or woman, in Open Era history to win a Grand Slam singles title after turning 38.
It would also be an all-time record 25th major singles title.
