The excitement for tennis fans has reached its fever pitch with the French Open set to kick off in Paris on May 22.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic has hit his stride at the right time with his first title of the season at the Italian Open last Sunday. 13-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal began the season brilliantly with his 21st Slam trophy at the Australian Open. But injuries reared their ugly head once again for the Spaniard and it remains to be seen if he manages to regain full fitness ahead of the most successful Major of his career.

World No. 6 Carlos Alcaraz, who has won four titles this year, will be looking to dash the hopes of the two legends in the French capital.

On the women's side, the sensational Iga Swiatek is the heavy favorite to collect her second Roland Garros trophy. With five titles on the trot under her belt, the Pole looks unstoppable at the moment.

As the countdown starts for the second Major of the season, let's take a look at the schedule for the French Open:
