Sinner starts career Slam bid vs. French wild card

Jannik Sinner opens his Roland Garros campaign against French wild card Clement Tabur as the French Open begins in Paris. The men’s preview casts Sinner as the overwhelming favorite in a draw that also includes Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev. On the women’s side, the preview points to a small group led by Coco Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, with Gauff still viewed as a major threat. For fans, the practical takeaway is that Paris begins with Sinner under the heaviest pressure and the women’s race appearing more open than in a typical major.
