The French Open, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, is set to commence on Sunday, May 26, 2024. The tournament will be held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France, and will conclude on June 8.
Novak Djokovic, the defending champion and current world number one, will be the man to beat. The Serbian is aiming to break the record for the most Grand Slam titles won by a male player, currently held by Rafael Nadal with 22. However, Djokovic has had a mixed start to the season, with a 14-6 win-loss record and no final appearances yet.
Rafael Nadal, the "King of Clay," will also be making his return to Roland Garros after missing last year's tournament due to a hip injury. Nadal has won the French Open a record 14 times and will be looking to extend his dominance on the clay courts.
Iga Swiatek, the reigning women's champion, will begin her title defense against French qualifier Leolia Jeanjean. Swiatek has been in impressive form this season, winning the Qatar Open and the Indian Wells Masters.
India's Sumit Nagal will make his French Open debut this year. Nagal, who reached the second round of the US Open in 2019, will be hoping to make a mark on the Grand Slam stage.
The French Open will be broadcast live in India on the Sony Sports Network. Fans can also watch live streaming of the tournament on SonyLiv.
