Roland Garros, everything you need to know about the French Open Grand Slam

Everything is ready for the 123rd edition of the French Open, never like this year without a clear favorite for the final victory. It will be the last time at “home” for Rafael Nadal, 14-time winner in Paris. Roland Garros is live on Eurosport (Sky channels 210 and 211 and streaming on NOW) from 26 May to 9 June

Uncertain and balanced. This is how it looks like Roland Garros 2024, second Slam of the season scheduled from 26 May to 9 June on the clay courts of Paris. The 123rd edition of the French Open is significant for many reasons, above all Rafael’s “last dance” Nadal. The King of Earth, 14 times champion at Porte d’Auteuil, will play “his” Slam for the last time, making his debut against Sascha Zverev in the remake of the epic 2022 semi-final, which ended with the German’s withdrawal due to a serious ankle injury. Zverev himself is back in list of candidates for final victory, however without an absolute favourite. Djokovic is the defending champion, but he hasn’t convinced this season; Sinner and Alcaraz are recovering from injuries, Tsitsipas hasn’t fully convinced and Medvedev doesn’t like this surface. Italian hopes pass through Sinner, but the conditions of the South Tyrolean after the right hip injury need to be verified. Jannik leads the Italian team with nine Italians in the main draw, but which could increase with the qualifiers.
