World No. 2 Jannik Sinner will begin his 2024 French Open campaign against Christopher Eubanks on Monday, May 27. He has the opportunity to go for the Golden Calendar Grand Slam this year, having claimed his maiden Major title at the Australian Open.
While Sinner dominated the field during the hardcourt swing, injuries prevented him from doing the same on clay. He started well with a semifinal showing at the Monte-Carlo Masters, losing to Stefanos Tsitsipas. He was forced to withdraw before his quarterfinal match at the Madrid Open due to an injury.
It led to Sinner missing the Italian Open as well. Fortunately, he has recovered now and will look to make a deep run in Paris. He could dethrone Novak Djokovic as the World No. 1 by the end of the tournament, either by winning the title or if the Serb makes an early exit.
