Djokovic's 25th Slam Quest
At 37, Novak Djokovic remains the man to watch. With 24 Grand Slam titles already in the bag, the veteran faces questions about age and recent coaching changes. Yet his court craft and mental steel are second to none. If he lifts the Coupe des Mousquetaires, he will set a new benchmark in men's tennis.
Zheng Qinwen's Breakout Moment
The Chinese mainland's Zheng Qinwen stunned the tennis world with her upset of a top seed last month. The 21-year-old arrives in Paris brimming with confidence, aiming to turn that breakthrough win into Grand Slam success. Her fearless groundstrokes and improving clay-court savvy make her a dark-horse favorite.
Sinner's Clay Conundrum
Jannik Sinner returns after an off-season procedure that cast doubt on his clay form. The Italian talent has showcased flashes of brilliance, but can he shake off rust and channel last year’s hot streak? His fiery intensity promises sparks on every set.
As stories collide on Paris’s red dirt, Roland-Garros 2024 offers a perfect stage for legends to rise and newcomers to shine. Stay tuned for every twist and turn at the season’s most dramatic major.
