Men's Draw (PDF is near the top right corner).
Play begins at Roland Garros tomorrow. It obviously feels like a Sinner coronation since Carlos is out with a wrist injury. Sinner did get wobbly a couple of times during clay court season, even though he won all of this matches. So, there may be some hope to beat him on a physicality TKO. Unfortunately, only grandpa Djokovic and diabetic Zverev are probably capable of doing that. It's supposed to be really hot the first week, so expect some withdrawals and walkovers.
I believe all coverage is on TNT and TruTV. If anyone is going to Roland Garros, please check in here.

Sinner will win this on the men's side almost for sure. With that said, I'm very surprised you didn't say Medvedev was his biggest competition. He's the only one who has pushed him over the past 3 months.

Sinner’s biggest competition will be the heat. I don’t see Novak making the semis, maybe not even the QF.
Jodar is a future grand slam winner imo. I think his biggest issue will be stamina in these best of 5’s the next year or so.
Either way I’ll predict Sinner to cruise through the French and Wimbledon without dropping a set.

I am a huge Med fan. But, he was absolute trash last year. I think he won like one grand slam match and somehow kept his ranking respectable (I think he played a million tournaments).
He has been a little better this year at times. I know he pushed Sinner last week. But, I could easily see him crash out early. He can't quite play the defense he used to and he gets frustrated when he can't hit winners (to his credit, he has appeared to try to play more offensive this year).

Oh definitely could see him crashing out early too. I remember he won Rome and then, I picked him to go very deep in Roland Garros, and he immediately lost to Seyboth Wild
With that said, I'm really just trying to find someone I can say will challenge Sinner. I really don't see anyone besides Sinner himself cramping up.
Zero intrigue on the men's side, while the women's side looks wide open to me. Could see so many different players winning the women's title.

They did a great job with their coverage last year. Miles better than ESPN.

Will Naomi Osaka quit again so she doesn't have to be interviewed after a "L" to protect her mental health? (when it is fine for her to be interviewed after a "W" and she can wax poetic about her political beliefs).
One of the least likable Japanese athletes of all time.

TNT coverage was ok, but I cannot stand that Lafkoe guy on the desk, he knows nothing about tennis.

He’s a bit annoying, but he seems grateful to be there. They do a really good job. Far better than NBC did.

So I am watching the Fritz-Basavareddy match and noticed they have people making the line calls, and umpires getting out of the chair to check marks,….weird that the clay court tournaments leading up to the French Open use electronic line calling, but not the French….

Fritz in trouble down 2-0

Servebot Perricard just took the first set from Djokovic.

Nice match by Tiafoe

Not sure that TNT is better than ESPN, NBC was bad though.
Another pet peeve with TNT, when they show the scores on the crawl they do not show the number for the seed of the players…..

The bottom half of the score line on the crawl is cut off for me.
