The 2024 French Open, the second Grand Slam of the year, is set to commence on May 26 at the iconic Stade Roland Garros in Paris. The tournament will feature a star-studded field, with all eyes on Rafael Nadal, the 14-time champion who is likely making his final appearance at the event.
Nadal, who has been battling injuries, will be unseeded but remains a formidable force on clay. The Spaniard will face stiff competition from defending champion Novak Djokovic, who will be the top seed. Other contenders include reigning Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner and rising star Carlos Alcaraz.
In the women's singles, defending champion Iga Swiatek will be the heavy favorite. The Polish sensation has been in dominant form this season, winning the Italian Open and Madrid Open titles. However, Elena Rybakina, the only player to defeat Swiatek on clay this year, will be a threat.
The French Open draw will take place on May 23 at 5:30 PM IST. The tournament will be broadcast live on Sony Ten Network in India and streamed online on Sony Liv.
