French Open 2023 preview

With reigning women's champion Iga Swiatek returning from injury, clay king Rafael Nadal absent and men's favourite Novak Djokovic out of form, the French Open drama certainly won't be confined to the night sessions and who does and doesn't get to play in them.

Djokovic enters the tournament knowing that victory will give him the outright men's record for Grand Slam titles, though he was recently bested by Holger Rune, whose rapid development may have caught a few more of his contemporaries off guard.

Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Jannik Sinner are amongst the most talented young stars on the circuit, but the volatile Dane might not be far behind them. For Daniil Medvedev, meanwhile, this is another chance to show his class – the towering Russian succeeded where Djokovic failed in Rome last week.

For all the talk of the demise of tennis' big three, a new triumvirate has emerged in the women's game over the past 12 months, Swiatek being joined on the top step by Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. Those three have now won each of the last three slams.

Swiatek may be the world No.1, but there's a strong argument to be made that Sabalenka has been the most impressive player on tour in 2023. Clay has long been considered Rybakina's weakest surface, so her victory in Italy earlier this month came as a shock to many. It was, admittedly, freakish at best, with three of her opponents having to retire.

Here's how to watch a French Open 2023 live stream wherever you are - starting with FREE coverage in Australia. We've also listed the French Open schedule further down the page.

How to watch French Open tennis from outside your country

For broadcast and streaming details in more tennis-mad countries like the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, just scroll down the page - everything you need to know is there, including details of who's showing the 2023 French Open.

But if you try to watch your domestic coverage from anywhere outside your home country, you'll soon find a problem - geo-blocking. That's where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad. It's a common problem for sports fans all over the world.

By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it's back at home.
