French Open 2024: Defending Champions Swiatek and Djokovic Prepare for Emotional Farewell at Roland Garros

The French Open 2024 is set to begin with defending champions Swiatek and Djokovic gearing up for what could be an emotional farewell at Roland Garros.

Swiatek comes into the tournament as the favorite to defend her title and secure a historic third consecutive win in Paris. However, the World No. 1 will face tough competition from contenders like Elena Rybakina. On the men’s side, Djokovic claimed his third French Open victory last year but has yet to secure a title in 2024 following his split from coach Goran Ivanisevic.

Other contenders such as Rafael Nadal, a record 14-time French Open champion, will also be looking to make their mark on the tournament. Despite not being in his prime form, Nadal will aim to end his Roland Garros career on a high note with a deep run.

The French Open matches can be watched live on Discovery+ and Eurosport in the UK. Fans can catch the action on Eurosport’s TV channels or stream the tournament on Discovery+ with an Entertainment & Sport pass available for purchase.

The tournament kicks off on Sunday, May 27, with the first round spanning three days. The women’s singles final is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, followed by the men’s singles final on Sunday, June 9. The French Open draw will take place on Thursday, May 23, at 2pm UK time, with the ceremony broadcasted live from Roland Garros.
