Rafael Nadal is the favourite to win a 12th French Open title but several players could challenge the champion in Paris
Untouchable when he won his 15th major at the Australian Open, the world No 1 can make more history in Paris. Three years after completing the career slam at Roland Garros, a second French Open title would make Djokovic the first man to hold all four grand slams on two separate occasions. But while victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas in Madrid secured the 32-year-old’s first title on clay since the 2016 French Open, he needs to recover from defeat to Rafael Nadal in the Italian Open final.
