Tennis's second Grand Slam tournament of the year will see two familiar names atop each of the men's and women's oddsboards, though the order and odds accompanying those names could be somewhat unusual.

Carlos Alcaraz will open his defense of the French Open title against veteran Kei Nishikori and said he’s “excited” to be back in Paris on the back of an excellent clay-court season. Alcaraz has been the dominant player in the weeks leading to Roland-Garros and is the clear-cut favorite after claiming trophies in Barcelona and Rome.

Jannik Sinner's dazzling winning streak ground to a halt ahead of the French Open but the world number one's top-notch return from a three-month doping ban suggests he will be the main challenger to Carlos Alcaraz in Paris.
