French Open 2024: How to watch, live stream, schedule, singles draw, seeding, notable second-round matchups

Despite rain having suspended some outdoor matches, the second round of the 2024 French Open is underway. Novak Djokovic wants to go back and win a record 25th Grand Slam trophy. Historically, this tournament belonged to Rafael Nadal, but the Spanish veteran saw an early exit and may have played at Roland Garros for the last time.

Nadal missed last year’s tournament for the first time in his career due to injury, and although he is not 100% healthy this year, he decided to give the French Open a try. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has won the trophy 14 times – more than any other player in tennis history. However, he failed to make a deep run as he fell 3-6, 6-7 (5-7), 3-6 to world number 4 Alexander Zverev in the first round.

If Nadal retires at the end of the season, the only member of the Big Three still playing will be Djokovic, who surpassed Nadal to win the most Grand Slam trophies in men’s tennis history at last year’s French Open. Djokovic took care of business this week with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 first-round victory over Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Djokovic will now face Roberto Carballes Baena on Thursday.

On the women’s side, all eyes are on Iga Swiatek as she seeks her fourth Roland Garros title. She won the 2023 French Open after beating Karolina Muchova in three sets. Muchova will not compete this year because she is recovering from wrist surgery. Swiatek, the world No. 1, entered this tournament on a 12-game winning streak and has just won titles at the Madrid and Italian Opens.

Swiatek cruised through the first round with a 6-1, 6-2 victory over Leolia Jeanean and is now preparing to face former No. 1 Naomi Osaka on Wednesday. Another favorite to win it all is world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka, who has had a promising 2023 campaign and began this Grand Slam season with her second consecutive Australian Open title.
