Rafael Nadal's attempt to extend his record by winning an 11th title in Paris will be the main focus of the men's draw at Roland Garros. No other man has won more than six French Open titles in the professional era. The man nicknamed the "King of Clay" has been nearly unbeatable on the surface, even winning 50 sets in a row until a recent setback. Nadal turns 32 on 3 June, but he's never looked better on red clay. Main-draw action begins on Sunday and this will be Serena Williams' first Grand Slam tournament in more than a year. The owner of 23 major singles titles, a record for the 50-year Open era, Williams hasn't played on one of her sport's most prestigious stages since winning the Australian Open in January 2017, while pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter on 1 September, then dealt with medical complications, and while she originally had hoped to be back on tour by the Australian Open this January, that did not work out. Williams, a 36-year-old American, has played only four official singles matches in the early portion of her comeback and pulled out of clay-court warm-up events in Madrid and Rome in May. She is ranked 453rd this week.

French Open 2018 can be live streamed on hotstar.com With inputs from AP<doc-sep>FINAL: Simona Halep has won the women’s singles title at the 2018 French Open, besting Sloane Stephens in a three-set final. It’s Halep’s first ever Grand Slam win, and you can find all you need to know about the tournament, including results, below. Serena Williams has missed the last four Grand Slams, but she’s set to compete for title at the 2018 French Open, which gets underway on Sunday. Williams won the 2017 Australian Open before taking an extended break from tennis for the birth of her child. She returned to the WTA Tour this year, winning two of four matches, none of which were on the clay surface that makes up the courts at Roland Garros. She is unseeded due to her absence, and the field of competitors is incredibly strong, as usual. Without tune-up matches on the surface, it’s hard to imagine Williams earning her 24th Grand Slam title this time around. But the women’s field is as unpredictable and exciting as ever. Since Williams won in Australia, four different women have won the past four slams — Jelena Ostapenko, Garbine Muguruza, Sloane Stephens and Caroline Wozniacki. Simona Halep is the top-seeded woman, and she’s still searching for her first ever Grand Slam win. Elina Svitolina is playing some of the best tennis of her career, and has a good shot at winning it. Ostapenko, the defending champion, is also in the field as the fifth seed. Svitolina is coming off a win in the Italian Open in Rome, where she bested Halep in straight sets for the championship. Petra Kvitova won the Madrid Open prior to that, over Kiki Bertens. Halep and Maria Sharapova were among the quarterfinalists for that tournament. Serena’s sister, Venus Williams, is the ninth seed for the tournament. Below, you can find the bracket, schedule, viewing information and updated match results from the tournament. Bracket Bracket taken from the official Roland Garros website. Viewing information This year marks the 36th consecutive year that NBC will carry coverage of the French Open in the United States.

Serena Williams and Rafaeal Nadal will both see the court in third-round action at Roland Garros on Saturday. Both have looked great at the French Open, though they had a much different story coming into the tournament. Play begins at 5 a.m. and will be broadcast by the Tennis Channel through 3 p.m. NBC will also have coverage of select matches from 12 noon to 3 p.m. Live streaming of the NBC coverage is available via fuboTV, NBC Sports or the NBC Sports app, while live streaming of every court can be had with a subscription to Tennis Channel Plus. Nadal, looking for his 11th French Open victory, faces his first seeded competition of the tournament in Richard Gasquet. The Frenchman is seeded 27th and has looked good thus far ... but not as good as Nadal, who handily dispatched Guido Pella in his second-round matchup, only dropping four games in total. Williams is facing her second seeded competitor, after she managed to get through No. 17 Ashleigh Barty in three sets the last time out. Williams dropped the first set, but powered through the next two to win just her second Grand Slam match since the finals of the 2017 Australian Open. Simona Halep, the top seed for the women, will be in action after blazing through her second-round opponent, Taylor Townsend. Halep will be up against Andrea Petkovic on Saturday.
