French Open 2024

The 2024 French Open ran 26 May – 9 June at Roland-Garros. This board is now the permanent record — every bracket, board and number below is frozen exactly where the fortnight left it, and I re-derived all of it from the results before locking. No live scoring, no betting — just what happened, exact. The story this board tells: Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in five sets for his first French Open title; Iga Świątek swept past Jasmine Paolini for a third straight Roland-Garros crown; 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva upset second seed Aryna Sabalenka on her way to the semi-finals; defending champion Novak Djokovic withdrew injured before his quarter-final; and Rafael Nadal’s first-round loss to Zverev proved the last Roland-Garros singles match of his career.

Suggestions?

Spot a mistake — a wrong score, a result that’s gone stale, a bracket that doesn’t look right? Or do you just have a better idea for this page? Either way, I’d rather hear it than not. Send me a line — a sentence is plenty, and I’ll take it from there.
