Bonjour, tennis fans.
The French Open comes your way beginning May 22, kicking off the two-week tournament with the first serve from Roland Garros right at the crack of dawn on the East Coast of the U.S.
This year, the usual suspects sit at the top: Novak Djokovic will play in the major after missing the Australian Open due to the country’s COVID-19 policies. With France relaxing its protocols on vaccinations, the two-time French Open winner will look to repeat this year.

Should Djokovic make it to the quarterfinals, though, he may have some familiar competition by way of Rafael Nadal. “The King of Clay” looks to add a 14th French Open title to his resume and his second Grand Slam event win of the year.
On the women’s side, 2020 Roland Garros winner Iga Swiatek looks to add some more hardware to the mantle this year. Switek fell in the quarterfinals last year, losing out to Greece’s Maria Sakkari, but she enters this year’s event ranked No. 1 in the world and riding a 28-match winning streak.
Here’s what you need to know about this year’s French Open:
