It’s time to return to the red clay of Roland-Garros, as the 2022 French Open is taking place from May 22-June 5. The French Open is the second grand slam event in professional tennis’ calendar, following the Australian Open. As such it is going to feature some of the best players in the world competing for the title.
There are 128 tennis players competing in both the men’s and women’s singles bracket; there are also draws for men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles taking place throughout the tournament.
In the men’s single bracket, Novak Djokovic has claimed the top seed as he attempts to tie Rafael Nadal’s all-time record for grand slam titles at 21. However, Nadal himself, who is legendary at the French Open, is in the field to try and prevent that and perhaps build on his record. There are also a number of other exciting players looking for the title, including 19-year-old Carlos Alcaraz Garfia.
On the women’s side, Iga Świątek is the top seed in the bracket. To win she will need to outlast Simona Halep, Paula Badosa and Danielle Collins, among others. Unfortunately, Serena Williams is not playing in the French Open, though there is still hope she will appear at Wimbledon later this year.
