7:15 CET - Two weeks of Grand Slam tennis is finally upon us, and personally, I cannot wait for it to get started. In action in Paris today, we have 2021 runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas (24) as he begins his quest for a maiden major title. Russian duo Karen Khachanov (27) and Andrey Rublev (25) are also set to take to the court on the men's side.
Aryna Sabalenka (25) is the main attraction in the women's draw today, and after winning the Australian Open at the start of the year, she will be looking to follow that up with another Grand Slam title. She will no doubt have eyes on the world No.1 ranking too. Some other top seeds preparing to play later today are world No.3 Jessica Pegula (29) and Maria Sakkari (27).
There are a whole host of other games from the French capital, and we will be keeping you up to date with everything right here.
