Meanwhile, in the women’s singles, Iga Swiatek was triumphant for the second time at Roland Garros and will be hoping to complete her hat-trick of titles at this year’s tournament.
With the first of the second round matches due to start tomorrow (Wednesday, May 31), we’re taking a look at who the bookies reckon will be the last man – and woman – standing.
1. Carlos Alcaraz
With odds of 7/5, Spanish world number one Carlos Alcaraz is favourite to win the French Open. In a glittering career so far Alcaraz has won ten ATP Tour-level singles titles, including the 2022 US Open and four Masters 1000 titles. Photo: Julian Finney
2. Novak Djokovic
A win at the French Open would give Novak Djokovic a record-breaking 23rd Grand Slam men's singles title - pulling one clear of Raphael Nadal. The bookies make him a 21/10 second favourite to do so. Photo: Clive Brunskill
3. Holger Rune
Denmark's Holger Rune is 9/1 thiord favourite to win his maiden Grand Slam title. To date Rune has won four ATP Tour singles titles, including a Masters 1000 title at the 2022 Paris Masters, and reched the quarter-finals of last year's tournament. Photo: Alex Pantling
4. Daniil Medvedev
The current world number two is fourth favourite in Paris. Daniil Medvedev has odds of 10/1 to win. He has one grand Slam to his name at the moment - the 2021 US Open - and 19 other ATP Tour singles titles. Photo: Justin Setterfield
