Like many other major tennis tournaments, the excitement of the French Open begins before play even starts. Everyone wants to know who will end up where in the draw.

There is as much depth in the sport as there has been in years, so even the best players have to be cautious about upsets much earlier than usual. The top seeds cannot simply coast to the semifinals when they could face another tough competitor in the first few rounds.

On the men's side, everyone will likely want to avoid Rafael Nadal until the finals. The Spanish star has won at Roland Garros seven of the last eight times and is as hot as any player on tour right now. The women's draw has a similar mindset with Serena Williams, who has been almost unstoppable in the past year.



The draw for the French Open can be as important as the play on court sometimes, so make sure you do not miss this big moment.

 

Date: Friday, May 24

Time: 5:30 a.m. ET

Where: Roland Garros, Paris, France

Live Stream: Roland Garros TV
