The French Open returns at Roland Garros in what appears to one of the most intriguing grand slams in recent memory in Paris. Jannik Sinner’s return following a three-month doping ban is the talk of the men’s draw, with the top of the sport in disarray in the absence of the World No 1. On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek will be bidding for a fourth French Open title in a row but is badly out of form. She has not won a title since last year’s victory. Novak Djokovic, meanwhile, resumes his bid for a 25th grand slam title at the scene of his last title at the Paris Olympics last summer. In terms of the British players, Jack Draper comes into the French Open firmly placed in the top-10 and could be a contender after reaching the Madrid final. The French Open main draw will be conducted on Thursday 22 May, commencing at 1pm BST. Men’s and women’s singles qualifying will commence on Monday 19 May, concluding on Friday 23 May. The qualifying draw will be made on Sunday 18 May. Seedings for the French Open are based on the top 32 in the ATP and WTA rankings, released at the start of the week of the main draw. The projected seedings are subject to change, and will only be finalised after the Italian Open. Women’s rankings - before Italian Open 1. Aryna Sabalenka 2. Iga Swiatek (Pol) 3. Coco Gauff (USA) 4.
