Here is the French Open British wins prediction competition!
IF AND WHEN YOU VOTE PLEASE SAY WHAT YOU VOTE FOR - THIS IS A COMPETITION TO FIND OUR BEST PREDICTOR!
For those who don't remember - the aim is to predict how many British main draw wins we will get in the 5 main events at the FO - mens and womens singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
In doubles, a win for an all British pair will count as 1 win, as will a win for a British/non British pair - eg Julian and Lloyd winning equals 1 win, Harri and Henry winning is the same.
For those who are interested, there is a full history of wins and who the closest predictor was since 2019 - you will see the FO has a typical wins range from just 9 to just 16 and is typically gives us less wins than the other slams, with an average of 12 and a total in 2024 of 13.
HOWEVER - in 2025, we managed 36 wins!
I have taken this into account in setting the range of wins to vote on. Being frank, where do you start, haha!
If you vote - when you vote - it is important to note that this is a COMPETITION and we need to know who votes and what number of wins they vote for so that we can keep track!
Also, if you select 10 or less or 29 or more, please say in a post EXACTLY what number you vote for - e.g. tick 29 or more but tell me in a post you have voted for, say, 33 wins
NOTE, when it comes to being closest, it can be up or down - e.g. if we achieve 13 wins this year, 12 or 14 are equally close and will be regarded as equally good predictions!
THE POLL / VOTING WILL CLOSE ON SATURDAY 23RD MAY AT 11PM AS PLAY BEGINS ON THE SUNDAY, 24TH MAY. NO RUSH TO VOTE AS CLEARLY DRAWS ARENT KNOWN AND THE QUALIES HAVENT TAKEN PLACE.
Here is our updated roll of honour, to include Elegant Point as a 3 time grand slam champion after their win at the Aussie Open in January.. Indiana is our defending champ here at the French though and several other French Open champs will no doubt be in the field!

I've gone for 14, a bit low I know but so many of our singles players are injured, a large number of our men are likely to be in qualifying but realistically how many have a chance of coming through 3 qualifying matches on clay? Our men's doubles strength will probably give us most wins, unless the luck of the draw ends up with them all playing each other!!

5 surprisingly early votes in - to clarify, this is open to all. Just choose a number of main draw wins and tell us what youve voted and you are in. Nearest prediction is the winner!
