The French Open has reached the final stage for 2024, with Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev to battle for the men’s singles championship on Sunday afternoon in Paris.
In the women’s singles on Saturday, Iga Swiatek won a fourth Roland-Garros title – an astonishing feat as a 23-year-old.
It’s a different story for today’s competitors, though.
While Alcaraz has won two grand slam tournaments in his young career, the Spaniard hasn’t triumphed on clay yet.
As for Zverev, the German has yet to win a major since turning pro in 2013.
The Sporting News will follow all the action as we await a maiden Roland-Garros champion to be crowned.
