by Sports Desk

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner faces veteran Richard Gasquet on May 29 as the Frenchman plays his final Roland Garros. Sinner, still regaining form after a doping suspension, is aiming for a smooth path forward after a tricky opener.

Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a record 25th Grand Slam, facing Corentin Moutet after a solid first-round win. “I don’t know how many more Slams I’ve got left,” said the 37-year-old Serbian, stressing the importance of preparation.

Coco Gauff, aiming for her first title since the 2023 WTA Finals, meets Czech qualifier Tereza Valentova after a relaxed start—despite forgetting her racquets in round one.

Teen star Mirra Andreeva, now a top-10 seed, takes on Ashlyn Krueger as she looks to build on last year’s semi-final run. Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, and other Slam winners are also in action on a packed day at Roland Garros.
