The French Open is six months away, but a noteworthy Roland Garros item is already on sale and ready to purchase for the tennis fan on your Christmas list.
The official French Open towel is available for $63 (USD) at the tournament store. There are two versions of the towel: navy and multicolor.
These towels are coveted items for players and fans at the tournament. World No. 2 Iga Swiatek is known for growing her towel collection each year. She will want to collect towels and the French Open trophy in 2026; this title eluded her in 2025. Though she has been known as the clay court queen, Coco Gauff won the 2025 French Open, and in a surprising turn, Iga Swiatek won Wimbledon, though many believed her game did not translate to grass courts.
If the French Open towel is available, certainly, the Australian Open 2026 towel is already on sale, right? We know a lot about the towels for Melbourne because it is a collection designed by tournament designer Ralph Lauren, but we could not find them on sale online for Christmas gift giving.
Looking Back At The 2025 French Open
In the ever-so-brief offseason, tennis fans have time to reflect on the year that was. The French Open may have been one of the most exciting tournaments of the year. With Carlos Alcaraz mounting that come-from-behind effort down two sets to Jannik Sinner, the men’s final will go down as being one of the most legendary.
Coco Gauff won her second Grand Slam defeating Aryna Sabalenka. It was the high point of Gauff’s season. As the surface and season changed, her serving woes became more apparent.
Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani won the women’s doubles title. Errani double dipped and won mixed doubles with Andrea Vavassori.
The Paris fortnight was one to behold in 2025, and the 2026 French Open, beginning on May 18, has a tough act to follow.
