French Open Preview - Alcaraz the man to beat, Swiatek's crown under threat in Paris

Roland Garros is here! The French Open has officially landed and the singles draws are out. Join Joel, Kim, and Chris as they dive into the next two weeks in Paris—with plenty of plot twists already in the brackets. On the men’s side, top seeds Sinner and Alcaraz face tricky paths, while Novak Djokovic seems to have lucked out with a smoother draw (hello, Zverev’s quarter). Can Jack Draper bounce back from last year’s early exit? On the women’s side, defending champ Iga Swiatek has her hands full in a stacked section featuring Ostapenko, Rybakina, Svitolina, and finalist Paolini. Sabalenka’s on the hunt for her first French Open title—if she can get past Qinwen Zheng again. Plus, the team reveals this year’s Roland Garros Collect A Set player picks, quarter-by-quarter predictions, and their very BOLD calls for the tournament - we’d love to hear yours too! And don’t miss Chris’s behind-the-scenes scoop from Paris with Producer Alina, fresh from a draw ceremony full of champagne and strawberries and cream tarts (Wimbledon, is that you?!).
