The women's draw at the French Open is already delivering intrigue as Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka headline a star-studded battle for the clay-court crown at Roland Garros.
Sabalenka arrived in Paris carrying the pressure of expectation after another dominant season on the WTA Tour. The Belarusian world number one has developed into one of the most feared players in women's tennis, blending explosive power with increasing consistency on slower surfaces. Although traditionally more comfortable on hard courts, Sabalenka's recent performances on clay have convinced many analysts that she is now a genuine favourite to lift the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen.
