By From Novak Djokovic’s travails to the unlikely dawn of the era of Danielle Collins in her final season on tour, 2024 has served up a sensational series of curveballs in tennis. Will the theme continue at Roland Garros, or will what tends to be the most coherent of tennis’ slams restore a sense of normality? Here’s where to watch French Open live streams online for FREE – from anywhere.
None of the likeliest names in the men’s draw are inspiring a great deal of confidence. Djokovic is so out of sorts that he’s parted ways with Goran Ivanisevic and is yet to win a title in 2024, Carlos Alcaraz’s clay season has been disrupted by an arm injury, and 14-time champion Rafael Nadal has barely played in two years.
Lucky for us, the players ready to fill the void are superb. Jannik Sinner won his first slam in January, Casper Ruud has made two French Open finals, and Daniil Medvedev is now a consistent force in the majors. Even Stefanos Tsitsipas picked up a title on clay at the Monte Carlo Masters.
Having won three of the past four French Opens, Iga Swiatek on clay is the closest thing to a foregone conclusion in tennis right now. Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff have shown promise on the dust, but not consistently so, while injuries have again curtailed Karolina Muchova’s progress. The women’s draw is ripe for an underdog tale in the vein of Barbora Krejcikova or Emma Raducanu, and what a story it would be if Collins delivered it.
