Where can the French Open be seen on TV and live stream?

Eurosport will broadcast all matches of the French Open from September 27th live on TV and live stream in the Eurosport player. Start is 11 a.m. In Austria, tennis fans can also watch Dominic Thiem's matches on ORF.

Who are the defending champions? Who are the favorites?

Rafael Nadal is aiming for his 13th title at the Bois de Boulogne after his previous success against Dominic Thiem . The Spaniard surprisingly lost to Diego Schwartzman in his first tournament after the Corona break in the quarter-finals in Rome. In addition to Nadal, Novak Djokovic is the second big favorite in the race: The world number one won his 81st title on the ATP tour on Monday in the Eternal City. And Dominic Thiem also wants to be involved in the title after two finals and the triumph at the US Open almost two weeks ago.

Last year's winner Ashleigh Barty is missing for women. The first contender for victory must therefore be Simona Halep , who was already successful in Roland Garros in 2018. And who won the title in Rome. The resurrected former major winners Garbine Muguruza and Victoria Azarenka are also among the favorites. There are big question marks behind Serena Williams' chances.

When does the draw take place?

The draw for the 2020 French Open will be announced on Thursday, September 24th at 6 p.m.
