The world’s best tennis players have arrived on the clay courts of Roland-Garros for the second major of the season, the French Open. Well, almost all of the world’s best players, since the men’s defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, will sit this one out due to a wrist injury.
At a Glance: Where to Watch the French Open
- Stream: DirecTV, HBO Max, Sling, Hulu + Live TV
- TV channel: TNT, truTV
- Dates: May 24 – June 7
That leaves World No. 1 and last year’s runner-up Jannik Sinner as the heavy favorite for the men’s trophy. If he can win, Sinner will join the 19 players in history to pick up a Grand Slam (a victory at all four major tournaments).
On the women’s side, three familiar names are in a great position to pick up a victory: defending champion Coco Gauff, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, and four-time French Open winner Iga Swiatek.
