The 2026 edition of the Roland Garros has wrapped. The recap, full results and dates for the 2027 edition are below.
The conditions
Clay is the slowest surface on tour. The ball sits up, points stretch, and the heaviest topspin tends to dictate. At Paris, court coverage and patience usually count more than raw power, the rally runs longer here than anywhere else on hard court.
Roland Garros is the only Slam without a tiebreak in deciding sets until 2022's six-all rule, and Court Philippe-Chatrier's retractable roof brings night sessions to clay for the first time in tour history.
Storylines for 2026
- Alcaraz defends after winning Paris in 2024 and 2025.
- Coco Gauff returns as 2025 Roland Garros champion.
- The clay is the slowest surface on tour and rewards heavy topspin and full-court coverage.
