French Open 2023 tennis preview
The 2023 French Open promises to be one of the most fascinating in years, which is quite something when you consider that 14-time former men's champion Rafael Nadal hasn't even been able to make the start line because of injury. Novak Djokovic has declared himself "the most disappointed" with the news – presumably after Rafa, no? – but the Serb will nevertheless start as one of the main favourites for Roland Garros.
Djokovic won't, however, be top seed. That honour goes to Nadal's clay court heir apparent Carlos Alcaraz, the US Open champion having regained his world No.1 ranking at the recent Italian Open. The big two are in the same half of the draw and are scheduled to meet in what would be a barnstorming semi-final. That top half of the men's draw is certainly stacked with talent, with Stefanos Tsitsipas – beaten in the Australian Open final by Djokovic – lying in wait for Alcaraz in a potential quarter-final. Italian Open champion Daniil Medvedev leads the way in bottom half, with Briton Cameron Norries drawn to face home opposition in Benoit Paire and 20th seed Dan Evans facing wildcard Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Defending champion Iga Swiatek remains the favourite in the women's tournament as the Pole goes in search of her third Roland Garros crown. Swiatek is, however, nursing an injury that forced her to retire in the third set of her quarter-final at the Italian Open with Elena Rybakina, who could be considered the form horse having gone on to win in Rome. Rybakina also reached the Australian Open final and won Indian Wells this year, having won her first Grand Slam at Wimbledon in 2022. The pair are drawn to meet in the semi-finals.
Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka dominates the bottom half of the draw, but she begins with a tough encounter against Marta Kostyuk of Ukraine. Third seed Jessica Pegula also starts big, facing 2022 Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins first. There are no Britons in the main draw, with Emma Raducanu convalescing from wrist surgery and all qualifying hopes extinguished last week.
Basically, Roland Garros is not to be missed this year. Read on and we'll show you how to watch a 2023 French Open live stream free online.
