Roland Garros begins this weekend, as the world’s best players arrive in Paris for the 130th edition of the French Open. In the men’s draw, world number one Jannik Sinner returns after last year’s epic final defeat to Carlos Alcaraz. In the women’s competition, Aryna Sabalenka arrives as the top-ranked player, while attention will also focus on Iga Swiatek — the Queen of Clay — and defending champion Coco Gauff.

To discuss the tournament, FRANCE 24’s Gavin Lee is joined by renowned tennis coach Patrick Mouratoglou, best known for coaching Serena Williams during one of the most successful partnerships in modern tennis, as well as helping guide Coco Gauff’s rise from a young age.

Produced by Gavin Lee, Alessandro Xenos, Antonia Cimini and Guillaume Gougeon
