ROLAND-GARROS
18 May - 7 June 2026
Resilience, courage, strength, power, spectacle… these words resonate especially strongly when the players competing in the wheelchair tennis events take to the courts at a Grand Slam. And this is even truer at Roland-Garros, host venue of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games and a privileged stage for the emergence of the discipline’s greatest stars.
2026 Edition: Wheelchair Tennis in the spotlight from 2 to 6 June!
Don’t miss the spectacular wheelchair tennis events, along with a wide range of dedicated activities, during your visit to Roland-Garros!
A world-class sporting programme
From 2 to 6 June, the world’s top wheelchair tennis players will be aiming to etch their names into the honours list of the 2026 edition. In total, 10 events will be contested (women’s and men’s wheelchair singles and doubles; girls’ and boys’ singles and doubles; quad singles and doubles), on the outside courts as well as on Court Suzanne-Lenglen, which will host three opening-session matches (from 11am) on Thursday 4, Friday 5 and Saturday 6 June. These matches will also be broadcast live by France Télévisions.

On 1st June – the official draw date for the various events – the potential paths of the leading contenders for the titles will be revealed. In the men’s draw, three-time defending champion and World No.1 Tokito Oda will face fierce competition, led by 2025 Rolex Paris Masters champion and World No.2 Alfie Hewett, as well as Guga Fernandez and Martin de la Puente, among others. In the women’s events, tour leader Yui Kamiji will be defending both of her crowns, having claimed the singles and doubles titles at last year’s edition. It should also be noted that the winners of the qualifying tournament for French representatives – to be held on 21-22 May at Paris Lagardère Racing – will complete these highly competitive line-ups. As such, four French wild cards (two in the men’s draw and two in the women’s draw) will join Ksénia Chasteau and Stéphane Houdet.
Finally, in the quad category, Guy Sasson, winner of Roland-Garros in 2024 and 2025, will be bidding for a historic hat-trick, but will once again be strongly challenged by Dutchmen Niels Vink (World No.1) and Sam Schroder (World No. 2), both legends of the discipline.

Inclusivity and promotion of the disciplines
Beyond pure competition, several activities will further promote tennis for players with disabilities during the 2026 edition. On the now-iconic Yannick Noah Day (Saturday 23 May), members of the French wheelchair tennis team will contest an exhibition match and be available to meet and interact with the public. Later in the tournament, from 5 to 7 June, the inclusive tennis weekend will feature demonstrations as well as initiation sessions in wheelchair tennis, standing para tennis, visually impaired tennis, deaf and hard-of-hearing tennis, and adapted tennis. A perfect opportunity to try, exchange with key stakeholders and feel the intensity of these disciplines first-hand!
