The red clay courts of Roland Garros will host the sport’s finest players. World No. 1 and defending champion, Novak Djokovic, is out to match 2022 Australian Open winner Rafael Nadal on 21 career Grand Slam wins and stop the Spaniard from claiming his 14^th French Open title.
 
However, the men’s competition has rarely been hotter, with players like teen sensation and current world No. 6, 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz, primed for his first Grand Slam victory. Alcaraz is in top form after beating both Djokovic and Nadal to win the recent Madrid Open.
