The 2024 French Open gets underway at Roland Garros on Sunday with Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek defending their singles titles.
Ahead of the second Grand Slam tournament of the season, AFP Sport looks at three talking points:
Rafael Nadal might not add to his record haul of 14 French Opens, but he will still comfortably be one of the standout stars at the tournament, win or lose.
The 22-time major winner, whose career twilight has been darkened further by injuries since January last year, will play the tournament for the last time.
Now ranked a lowly 305, former world number one Nadal was champion on his debut in 2005 when he was still a teenager. At this French Open, he will celebrate his 38th birthday.
