The second major of the 2025 tennis season is set to begin on Sunday from Roland Garros. Here are five players who will not be competing for various reasons.

Matteo Berrettini

The world number 28 has pulled out of the French Open due to an unspecified injury according to the Associated Press. However, it should be noted that Italy’s Matteo Berrettini pulled out of the Madrid Masters in the third round because of an abdominal injury. He played one set against eventual finalist Jack Draper of Great Britain and lost 7-6. Berrettini then lost 7-5, 2-0 to Norway’s Casper Ruud in the third round of the Italian Open. Berrettini’s finest accomplishment was reaching the final of Wimbledon in 2021, before losing to Novak Djokovic of Serbia, 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 6-3. He has not played at the French Open since 2021.

Zhizhen Zhang

The world number 81 is out with a knee injury according to Josh Reynolds of the Last Word on Sports. Zhang of Shanghai, China has reached the third round of the last two French Opens and made the quarterfinals at Roland Garros in doubles last year with Czech Republic’s Tomas Machac.
