2024 French Open: Nadal's Farewell, Djokovic's Quest Take Centre Stage

Posted : 20 May 2024

The 2024 French Open kicks off at Roland Garros with defending champions Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek prepared to defend their singles titles. Rafael Nadal's farewell marks one of the tournament's standout moments, as the 22-time major winner competes in his last French Open amidst a career clouded by injuries. Nadal's departure signals the end of an era, highlighting his unparalleled legacy of just three losses in 115 matches at Roland Garros, a feat unlikely to be replicated.

 

Joining Nadal in bidding adieu to the French Open are Dominic Thiem, Andy Murray, and potentially Stan Wawrinka, as the tournament marks the end of an era for several tennis stalwarts. Despite Nadal's looming farewell, attention also shifts to Novak Djokovic's quest for a fourth French Open title, seeking to break ties with other three-time winners. However, Djokovic enters Paris without a title this season, facing stiff competition amidst runs to the Australian Open and Monte Carlo Masters semifinals.

 

The return of former world No 1 players Naomi Osaka and Angelique Kerber adds intrigue to the tournament, both making comebacks after taking time off to start families. Osaka, known for her complex relationship with Roland Garros, returns following a challenging 2021 withdrawal due to mental health concerns and missed the 2023 event due to pregnancy.

 

Meanwhile, Kerber rejoins the tour after 18 months away, balancing motherhood with her tennis career. As these seasoned players navigate their return to the French Open, the absence of Petra Kvitova and Belinda Bencic due to maternity leave underscores the diverse journeys of athletes both on and off the court.
