PARIS : World number five Stefanos Tsitsipas will be downing red wine, munching on baguettes and smiling a lot in Paris, hoping this will lead to success at the French Open, he said on Sunday.
The 2023 French Open begins on Sunday, May 28 and runs through Sunday, June 11 at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. While this year’s field will feature Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic and many of your favorite tennis stars, one major name that will be sidelined from competition is Rafael Nadal. The 14-time French Open champion announced last week that he will miss the tournament for the first time in 19 years due to a left hip flexor injury.
The biggest clay tournament of the year is back with the French Open kicking off on Sunday May 28 in Paris, and it's looking to be a star-studded line-up on first day. With reigning champion Rafael Nadal out of the event for the first time since 2005, can any newcomers make their mark at Roland-Garros? Or will favourites Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz be competing in the latter stages? Ad On the women's side, Iga Swiatek will defend her title as the world No.
PARIS: Carlos Alcaraz wants to play alongside Rafael Nadal in a formidable and "dream" doubles team at the 2024 Olympics.
14-time champion Rafael Nadal pulled out of the upcoming French Open earlier this month, citing that his hip injury has not healed and also said he expects 2024 to be his final year in professional tennis. India tennis legend Sania Mirza feels that while coming back from an injury can be challenging, it's hard to bet against Nadal making a return next year and win more titles. Nadal has had a history of injuries during his illustrious playing career, but the Spaniard has often overcome hurdles in his path, and Sania is confident that the 36-year-old can surely do it again.
Novak Djokovic will bid for a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam title at a French Open without his old rival Rafael Nadal for the first time since 2004, while Iga Swiatek attempts to become the first woman to defend the title in 16 years.
Carlos Alcaraz has said it would be “a dream” to play doubles tennis alongside Rafa Nadal at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The current world No. 1 appears to be the natural successor to the former best-in-the-world Nadal as the older player edges towards retirement.
Serbian veteran Djokovic will not be the favourite for the title, though, after struggling with an elbow injury and failing to get past the quarter-finals in any of his three clay-court events so far this season.
