The second leg of tennis’ Grand Slams begins Sunday, and it will be missing a very familiar face.
Rafael Nadal will not be playing for his 15th win at Roland-Garros, meaning the men’s side is wide open with the defending champion out with a hip injury. Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, will be in the field seeking his third French Open win and second in three years.
On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek will be in the fold to defend her 2022 victory. She suffered a thigh injury in Rome, but has said she’s 100 percent to compete.
Aryna Sabalenka is a top challenger this year, and Americans Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff are the United States’ best chance of bringing a French Open win back to the United States.
The next two weeks will have plenty of tennis to watch, starting Sunday and concluding with the finals on Sunday, June 11.
