Despite the absence of defending champion Carlos Alcaraz due to injury, the French Open promises compelling tennis. The tournament features a strong Ukrainian contingent and farewells to veteran players.

There will be no repeat of last year’s epic, see-sawing final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at the French Open this year, with the Spanish title holder nursing an injury. But there is still plenty to look forward to on the Paris clay, from a Ukrainian duo aiming for the women’s title to the last dances of Gaël Monfils and Stan Wawrinka.
