French Open 2020 TV Coverage: But this could still be the most under-strength version of Nadal seen at the French Open in recent yearsRoland Garros traditionally takes place in late May and early June though the coronavirus pandemic scuppered those plans, with the tournament controversially rescheduling the event for late September after it became clear in early March that holding the event as normal would be impossible.

World No.3 Dominic Thiem will enter the French Open 2020 as one of the strongest contenders. Thiem, who won his maiden Grand Slam at the US Open 2020, has entered the coronavirus “bubble” at Roland Garros.Thiem was the runner-up at the 2018 and 2019 French Open, losing both times to his biggest adversary, Rafael Nadal. The Austrian is most likely to face either Nadal or World No.1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals of the French Open.

Recently, during an interview, Thiem talked about the major difference in the new balls used at Roland Garros. Wilson has produced the balls this year, which were formerly manufactured by Babolat. Thiem believes that new balls are comparatively slower and might change the results.The new Wilson balls are expected to gather less dirt and moisture to maintain consistency. They are designed to endure longer rallies and are lighter than the old Babolat balls.

However, apart from her new balls, the conditions will also be different in Paris. Originally scheduled in May, the French Open got postponed to October and will experience cooler temperatures.The 12-time French Open champion Nadal is the clear favorite to win the title, but Thiem has the game to topple the Spaniard on clay. Thiem showed his brilliance by ousting Nadal in the semifinals of the Australian Open 2020.

However, the Italian Open champion Novak Djokovic will be a genuine threat to either man’s hopes and has won 31 of the 32 matches he has played this year.Rafael Nadal, defending champion and winner of 12 of the last 15 editions of the tournament, has only played three matches in the last seven months and his last outing was a surprising straight-sets loss. Novak Djokovic is playing at his first Grand Slam since being disqualified from the US Open for hitting a lineswoman with a ball – described as the “toughest and darkest” moment of his career by his former coach Boris Becker.

And Dominic Thiem hasn’t played a competitive match on clay after becoming a Grand Slam champion for the first time at the US Open.It’s usually around this time – although not usually this time of year – that the same old question surfaces: who can beat Nadal over five sets in Paris? Having seen Nadal sweep through at least two of the pre-tournament clay-court events, the answer is usually the same: maybe Djokovic, if he plays his best, otherwise nobody.

Part of that is because it’s difficult to judge exactly what kind of form he is in, having only played three competitive matches in the last seven months.After skipping the hard-court season in New York, he looked like the king of clay in his first two matches back in Rome, beating US Open semi-finalist Pablo Carreno Busta and Dusan Lajovic for the loss of just six games. But then he was surprisingly dumped out in straight sets by Diego Schwartzman, who had lost their last nine meetings and only won two of 24 sets.

Schwartzman called it his “best match ever”, but Nadal was strangely off, making 30 unforced errors and struggling on serve, only making 27 of 63 first serves and being broken five times.Is three matches enough preparation for Nadal, who has never won the French Open without winning at least one clay tournament beforehand.

In his post-match press conference after defeat to Schwartzman he said: “I did my job here…At least I played three matches.” Which is a fair point. Three competitive clay matches is three more than some players will have under their belt when they travel to Paris. And Nadal will expect to have time to work his way into the tournament and improve his form in the early rounds before tougher tests await in the second week.

Four months after it traditionally begins the event will finally take place. Originally it had been hoped that 11,500 fans a day could enter the site but a rise in covid cases has prevented that, with 5,000 fans set to be allowed on Court Philippe Chatrier this year but no other fans allowed elsewhere.Another noticeable change this year is the roof on Chatrier which will guarantee that some play can take place at all times, with night sessions also being introduced this season.

Legendary players such as Chris Evert, Ivan Lendl, Justine Henin and Bjorn Borg have all lifted the French Open title in the past and it will be intriguing to see who can emulate their success in unusual circumstances this autumn, in what is the 124th staging of the event which began in 1891.

Noticeable absences include 2009 Men’s singles champion Roger Federer and defending Women’s champion Ashleigh Barty, with US Open champions Naomi Osaka and Bianca Andreescu also missing from the 128-player draws.When discussing the Men’s singles at Roland Garros there is only one man we can start with; Rafael Nadal. The Spaniard’s 12 titles in Paris and 93-2 win/loss record is incomparable in the sport and the world number two will be backed by many to win a 13th title this coming fortnight, though there were some signs in Rome that Nadal may be vulnerable this year.

Nadal chose to skip the US hard court tournaments meaning his appearance in Rome was his first tournament in over six months, and he suffered a shock loss to Diego Schwartzman in the last eight. That loss may have made Novak Djokovic the favourite for the title. The Serbian won a record 36th Masters 1000 title in Rome on Monday and his shock default at the US Open is the only time he has lost this season.Outside of Nadal, Djokovic and Thiem, the field seems fairly open.

It will be interesting to see how recent US Open runner-up and two-time French Open quarter-finalist Alexander Zverev fairs in his first tournament since Flushing Meadows, whilst Stefanos Tsitsipas will be looking to rebound after a disappointing third round loss in New York. Former Grand Slam finalist Daniil Medvedev has never won a match in Paris and will be looking to break that run this time around.
