The first week of the French Open has not been extinguished, and the peak of the second week is approaching!

The 2025 French Open has once again put Roland Garros in the spotlight of world sports, and this rhapsody on clay in Paris has taken the world by storm and touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans since its inception. Legends on clay are being written—underdogs, reversals, strong players, and the rise of a new generation...... The first week of the French Open brought a lot of excitement and suspense.

ASICS Tennis Ambassador Novak Djokovic

ASICS tennis ambassador Novak Djokovic reached the last 16 of the men's singles without dropping a set at the French Open, beating American player McDonald, homegrown player Mutai and Austrian dark horse Misorich in the first three rounds. The Serbian king's fourth-round opponent is former top-10 player Norrie, who upset 11th seed Dmitry Medvedev in the first round. As a three-time French Open champion and Paris Olympic gold medallist, Djokovic has many fond memories of winning titles on clay at Roland Garros, and he will be looking to replicate his trophy legend here.

ASICS Tennis Ambassador Musetti

ASICS tennis ambassador Musetti had his best record at the French Open this year, with the Italian single-lens SLR star beating Hanfmann, Gran and Navone on clay, before beating the tournament's No.10 seed Rune in four sets in the fourth round to put the last laugh in the top 10 matchup. Continuing his excellent form on clay this year, Musetti is expected to reach the deeper round at the French Open, where he will face 15th seed Tiafoe in the quarter-finals.

ASICS Tennis Ambassador De Minauer

ASICS Tennis Ambassador De Minaur, the No. 9 seed in the men's singles, lost in five sets in the second round against Kazakhstan's Bublik in the round of 64. In fact, the Australian has a remarkable record on clay this year, with a semi-final finish in Monte Carlo and back-to-back 16 in Madrid and Roma, but he was unable to finish the clay season at Roland Garros. Coming to his season on grass, we expect De Minaur to continue to surprise in the second half of 2025 and push for a higher ranking.

ASICS Asics Tennis Ambassador Paulini

ASICS tennis ambassador and last year's runner-up Paulini lost in the fourth round of the Women's Singles to 13th seed Svitolina in a three-set battle that ended the Italian's nine-match winning streak since Rome after she couldn't hold on to a 6-4, 4-1 lead and a three-point comeback. However, Paulini's French Open journey continues, and she and compatriot Errani have now reached the quarter-finals of the Women's Doubles. Paulini finished runner-up in the Women's Doubles final at last year's French Open, followed by a strong Women's Doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics and a return to Roland Garros, with the golden Italian duo of Paulini and Errani undoubtedly one of the favourites to win the Women's Doubles.

ASICS Tennis Ambassador Maya

ASICS Tennis Ambassador Maia celebrated her 29th birthday at the French Open, and although the Brazilian sister was beaten in three sets by American Baptiste in the first round of the Women's Singles, she and Sigmund have made it to the quarter-finals, and the No. 13 seeds in Women's Doubles have won the first two rounds without dropping a set, and they are also a strong pair to watch in Women's Doubles.

ASICS Tennis Ambassador Zhang Shuai

ASICS tennis ambassador Zhang Shuai played in the third line of this year's French Open, she played in the French Open women's singles qualifying tournament for the first time in 13 years, and after losing in the second round, she immediately entered the doubles event. In the absence of France's old partner Mladenovic due to injury, Zhang Shuai's partner this time is Australian player Gadeki, and the two lost in the first round of women's doubles. Zhang Shuai has made a comeback in the Mixed Doubles, and the No.2 seeds in the Mixed Doubles with Arévalo have made it to the quarter-finals, and the two sides are working together to make it to new heights in Grand Slam.

On this piece of red clay that has been polished by time for a hundred years, every grain of gravel is engraved with the memory of tennis. As the tournament enters the second half of the schedule, the pattern of the title race gradually becomes clear, and the French Open situation is changing, and every shot could rewrite history. Roland Garros's clay has never been just on the court, but also a writer and witness of tennis legends, and the 2025 French Open is witnessing more moving images and shining moments.
