The 2024 French Open Men’s Singles tournament will kick off on Sunday, live on NBC Sports and Peacock. This year’s tournament is considered to be the most wide open in 20 years, with many top players experiencing injuries and uncertainties.
Rafael Nadal, who holds a record of 14 French Open titles starting in 2005, might be playing at Roland Garros for the last time after being sidelined for an extended period due to injuries. Nadal, 37, is unseeded and will face No. 4 seed Alexander Zverev in the first round. Despite holding a record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles, Novak Djokovic, the reigning French Open champion from 2023, is the tenuous top seed in this year’s tournament.
Notable American players in this year’s tournament include Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton, seeded 12th, 14th, and 15th respectively. It’s been 21 years since an American man has made a French Open men’s singles quarterfinal, with Andre Agassi being the last to achieve this in 2003. This year’s French Open Men’s Singles Draw promises an exciting and unpredictable competition among some of the world’s top players.
