Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg: Grigor Dimitrov and David Goffin will be the top favourites to secure spots in the main draw when the men's singles qualifying rounds for the French Open start in Paris on Monday.

Dimitrov is set to headline the qualifying draw, making his first appearance in qualifying for a Grand Slam tournament since the 2011 Australian Open. Former quarterfinalist Goffin is also in the field, aiming to compete in the main draw in Paris for the 14th time.

Dimitrov will face Jaime Faria in the opening round. The former World No. 3 holds a 21-15 record in Paris. Dimitrov's best result at Roland Garros came in 2024, when he reached the quarter-finals.
