The French Open will kick off on Sunday in Paris. This would be the last time the tournament will host 14-time champion Rafael Nadal.

On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek will start as a firm favourite, with none of the big names looking likely to cause her major trouble. And what are India’s chances in the doubles, where Australian Open champion Rohan Bopanna will be in action?
