French Open 2022: draw, seeds, how to watch, broadcast, live updates, scores, TV channel

The first-round matches are set as the men’s and women’s singles draws for Roland-Garros were announced on Thursday. Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are all on the same side of the table. If things go as planned, top seed and defending champion Djokovic could face Nadal in the quarter-finals. It would be a good opportunity for Nadal – 13 times French Open champion – to make Djokovic pay for beating him in the semi-finals last year.

Whoever advances could face Carlos Alcaraz in the next round, that is if he can deal with Alexander Zverev in his own quarter-final match. Alcaraz beat Nadal and Djokovic in consecutive matches and won the Madrid Open earlier in May.

On the women’s side, world No. 1 Iga Swiatek will enter the competition with a 28-game winning streak and the No. 1 seed. The Polish player is the big favorite of Roland Garros. Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova was sidelined for more than two months with an elbow injury, but she still earned the No. 2 seed.

Serena Williams will not play at Roland Garros for the first time since 2017. She hasn’t played since last June, when she suffered an ankle injury at Wimbledon.
