Sunday Preview

While Federer's decision to skip Roland-Garros in recent years has helped him add a couple more Grand Slams to his overall total, it's been sad not to see the veteran weave his magic on the clay courts.

The surface has never been Federer's favourite, yet there's always an excitement among the crowd when the great man steps on to a tennis course, especially in one of the four major events.

The 37-year-old said he's looking forward to getting back to work in the French capital:

Given his age, there has been increasing talk that the Swiss will retire in the coming years, but Federer told Christopher Clarey of the New York Times that he's not thinking about that yet:

In Sonego, the 20-time Grand Slam champion will be taking on a new opponent, although he will still be a big favourite to advance.

Tsitsipas feels like a player to look out for at the 2019 competition, as his career is on a sharp upward trajectory. The Greek beat Federer at the Australian Open and performed well at recent tournaments in Madrid (runner-up) and Rome (semi-finals). In the former, he earned a win over clay-court specialist Rafael Nadal.

Elsewhere, many experts are picking Pliskova to win the women's title, having played herself into an excellent run of form lately. Per WTA Insider, she's consistently made deep runs in clay events:

The world No. 2 was dominant in Rome, producing clinical displays in the semi-final and final. It's hard to see her having any problems against Brengle in her opener, as the American has never been able to get beyond the second round at Roland-Garros.

When the draw was made, the most anticipated match was between Venus Williams and ninth seed Elina Svitolina. The latter is still chasing her maiden Grand Slam title, while the 38-year-old has never won the French Open in her distinguished career.
