Nadal, Djokovic and Federer Return To Roland Garros; When Is The Draw & More

  • Posted: May 25, 2021

As always, all eyes will be on Rafael Nadal as he returns to Paris just seven months after winning his 13th Roland Garros title. The quick turnaround should suit the Spaniard just fine as he arrives on the heels of winning the title in Rome.

The 2021 Roland Garros field is also set to feature every member of the Top 10 including Big Three members Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Djokovic won his 18th Grand Slam at the Australian Open and reached the Rome final (l. to Nadal), while Federer is 1-2 this season with early losses in Dubai and Geneva. The Swiss missed Roland Garros in 2020. 

A player to watch will be Casper Ruud, as the young Norwegian has established himself inside the Top 20. He has reached three straight ATP Masters 1000 semi-finals on clay and just won the title in Geneva.
