what time does it start, where to watch it on TV and streaming. Nadal loose cannon

Today, Thursday 23 May (from 2.00 pm), the Roland Garros 2024 draw at the main draw level. In fact, in these days the qualifiers are already being played for the second Major of the season, the only one on the calendar on clay, which for the occasion will also represent the last major tournament valid for Olympic qualification for the Paris Games.

Five-hoop tournament scheduled right on Philippe Chatrier and on the other courts of Roland Garros. Today’s ceremony, in which the main draws of the men’s and women’s singles will be drawn up, will take place in the magnificent setting of the Sere d’Auteuil garden. Defending champions, and current No. 1 in the world rankings, are the Serbian Novak Djokovic and the Polish Iga Swiatek.

In twelve months, however, many things have changed, especially in the men’s sector (Swiatek in fact remains the big favorite of the tournament), with Nole arriving in Paris with many unknowns and few certainties after a first part of the season well below expectations. Question marks also arise after recent injuries for the two young stars of the circuit, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.

Also noteworthy is the probable last appearance at Roland Garros of Rafael Nadal, 14-time winner of the event and registered via protected ranking. The Majorcan, although far from ideal, will still be a loose cannon in the draw as he is not among the 32 seeds. The draw will be visible in live streaming on the Roland Garros Youtube channel.
