BENGALURU (Reuters) - Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner resume the hottest rivalry in men's tennis at the French Open, where Novak Djokovic will fly the flag for the old guard as the claycourt Grand Slam enters the post-Rafa Nadal era.

After Nadal exited the 2024 edition of the major he won a record 14 times, Alcaraz emerged as the Spaniard's heir apparent with his first Roland Garros title.
