Taylor Fritz became the biggest casualty on the opening day of the French Open at Roland Garros as the men’s seventh seed went down to a four-set upset to American wildcard Nishesh Basavareddy to continue his injury-disrupted season.
In the men’s draw, Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to win his first French Open title and to claim the career Grand Slam in the process, continuing a hugely successful season in which he has already made history as only the second man, and the youngest, to win all nine Masters 1000 titles.

The women’s draw meanwhile is full of potential winners, with defending champion Coco Gauff having had a mixed clay-court season thus far but arriving with a point to prove after a tough defeat in the Italian Open final.
The American returns to action alongside Australian Open champion and last year’s runner-up Aryna Sabalenka, four-time Roland-Garros winner Iga Swiatek, and a rejuvenated Elina Svitolina, who recently won her biggest title in eight years on the clay in Rome to put herself among the contenders.
