Did you know the original French Open was played on sand? This was the case from the inaugural tournament in 1891 up until 1908 (with some uses of clay in between), when the surface was switched to the current installment of clay. Anyways, here's a sneak peak at the French Open for 2019.
  • Who Can Usurp Rafa Nadal? Rafa Nadal has won 11 French Opens, most on the male side of the sport. His technique fits perfectly with the slowed down pace and the high bounces the clay courts produce. For hard hitters like Roger Federer, winning on the clay courts can be a tall task. But one person can take on Nadal's role as the "King of Clay": Dominic Thiem. Thiem plays a similar style to Nadal and Thiem would want another crack at Nadal after last year's final. Also watch for Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev.
  • On the Women's Side... Simona Halep, last year's champion, is a threat due to the fact that, well, she's the champion. But her recent injury woes may hamper her in this year's tournament. Petra Kvitova is rolling right now, so watch for her. This is especially true with the current No. 1, Naomi Osaka, going through some issues right now. Also keep an eye out for Angelique Kerber and Sloane Stephens, who has one of the sweetest serves you'll ever see.
