The French Open continues with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek the defending champions, after Rafael Nadal knocked out in the opening round of what was potentially the 14-time champion’s final appearance at Roland Garros.

Swiatek is the favourite to defend her title and make it three in a row in Paris, but the World No 1 will expected to face competition from Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina.

Djokovic won his third French Open title last year but has yet to win a tournament in 2024 following his split from coach Goran Ivanisevic. Contenders Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have been sidelined by injury in recent weeks, however.

It leaves Alexander Zverev as one of the favourites on the men’s side, after the German fourth seed knocked out Nadal in straight-sets on Court Philippe-Chatrier. The Spaniard said there was a “big, big chance” he had played at the tournament for the final time.
