All eyes will be especially on tennis world numero uno Roger Federer, as he takes on his opponents in the French Open, top among them likely to be two-time winner on this court Rafael Nadal.
Nadal is seeking his third consecutive French Open Title after having bested Federer on two occasions in this tournament, including the 2005 semi-final and last year’s final.

Russia’s Maria Sharapova, who is seeded second, is also another strong contender for the French Open women’s title and can also upset the applecart of the two former champions with her strong play.
