French Open 2024: Men’s bracket, schedule, results & how to watch

Update: Rafael Nadal fell to Alexander Zverev in straight sets in the tournament’s opening round, with the fourth-seed winning, 6-3, 7-6(5), 6-3. It’s unclear if this will in fact be Nadal’s final tournament at Roland-Garros. Below is the original preview, followed by men’s singles bracket viewing information, schedules, and results that will be updated throughout the tournament.

All eyes are on Rafael Nadal at the 2024 French Open — a familiar sight and feeling, but with a twist this time around: it could be his last go-around. Nadal is the most dominant player in French Open history, with 14 titles to his name, but injuries have piled up in recent years and he has hinted that he’s nearing the end of his playing days.

The King of Clay, as he’s known, has a ridiculous 112-3 record at Roland-Garros, with his most recent win coming in 2022. From 2005 to 2014, he won 9 out of 10 French Open titles, and 5 of 6 from 2017 to 2022. Last year, Nadal withdrew before the tournament due to injury and is unseeded going into this year’s Slam.

His top competition is defending champion and No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic, who Nadal last beat at Roland-Garros in the 2022 quarterfinals. But it’s going to be a tall order even getting that far, as the unseeded Nadal plays No. 4 Alexander Zverev in the first round. This is the first time since 2005 that Nadal has been unseeded in a Grand Slam.

Djokovic is the top seed and also the defending champion in the men’s bracket, but he’s been off to a rocky start in 2024. The 37-year-old Serb has 24 Grand Slams to his name, but hasn’t made a tournament final this year. No. 2 seed Jannik Sinner is coming off a victory in the Australian Open — where he bested Djokovic in the semifinals, and No. 3 seed Carlos Alcaraz is still riding momentum from his 2023 Wimbledon victory.

If both Nadal and Djokovic make it that far, the two will meet in the semifinals. The top Americans on the men’s side include No. 12 Taylor Fritz, No. 14 Tommy Paul, and No. 15 Ben Shelton, though no American has made it to the quarterfinals of Roland-Garros since 2003.
