The men's singles draw at the French Open has been thrown wide open following surprising defeats. Jannik Sinner, an anticipated favorite in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, was knocked out in the second round, abruptly ending his campaign for a first Grand Slam title.

Adding to the tournament's unpredictability, Novak Djokovic, a three-time champion aiming for a 25th major title, was also eliminated. He lost in a dramatic five-set match to Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca. Djokovic's form had been questionable heading into the tournament due to recent injury concerns.

This leaves several contenders eagerly eying the title. Among them is Alexander Zverev, who is showing strong form following recent successes, including a semifinal appearance in Monte Carlo. Felix Auger-Aliassime, the highest seed left in the top half, faces a challenging path but remains a strong contender.

Others in the mix include Rafael Jodar, making notable strides on the clay courts, and Moise Kouame, whose dramatic match wins have captured local fans' imaginations. Casper Ruud, after a tough start, hopes to build momentum, while Joao Fonseca aims to continue his impressive run.
