The draw for the upcoming Roland-Garros tournament has set up some exciting first-round clashes that fans can’t wait to see. The highlight of the draw is the match between 14-time champion Rafael Nadal and fourth seed Alexander Zverev, the Rome Masters champion.

Other notable first-round matches include Holger Rune vs Dan Evans, Richard Gasquet vs Borna Coric, and Ben Shelton vs Hugo Gaston.

As the tournament progresses, fans can look forward to potential quarter-final matchups such as Djokovic vs Casper Ruud, Zverev vs Daniil Medvedev, Alcaraz vs Andrey Rublev, and Sinner vs Hubert Hurkacz.

With such exciting matchups on the horizon, the 2024 Roland-Garros tournament promises to be a thrilling and competitive event for both players and fans alike.
