Novak Djokovic et Iga Swiatek arrivent à Paris en tant que champions en titre respectifs du simple, et c'est du côté masculin du tableau qu'il semble y avoir plus de joueurs avec des espoirs réalistes de gloire majeure.

Carlos Alcaraz et Jannik Sinner ont chacun eu des problèmes de blessures ces dernières semaines et Djokovic a des questions à répondre sur sa forme, donnant à Alexander Zverev et Casper Ruud l'espoir de faire une course en profondeur.

Comment regarder ou diffuser Novak Djokovic contre Roberto Carballes Baena aux États-Unis
L'Open de France est diffusé en direct sur NBC, Tennis Channel et Peacock. Si vous n'avez pas d'abonnement à la télévision par câble ou par satellite, vous pouvez regarder les matchs sur NBC et Tennis Channel avec un service de streaming TV en direct. Pour les grands matchs de fin de tournoi sur NBC, vous devrez cependant vous assurer de pouvoir recevoir une diffusion en direct de NBC dans votre région. Sur certains marchés, vous pouvez regarder du contenu à la demande mais pas en direct de NBC et des autres réseaux locaux.

Si vous habitez dans une zone où la réception est bonne, vous pouvez regarder des matchs gratuitement sur NBC en connectant simplement une antenne intérieure abordable (moins de 30 $) à presque n'importe quel téléviseur.

Peacock propose deux forfaits Premium : le forfait Premium financé par la publicité coûte 6 $ par mois et le forfait Premium sans publicité coûte 12 $ par mois. Vous pouvez regarder Roland-Garros en direct avec l’un ou l’autre plan.

Peacock assurera une couverture en direct l'après-midi la plupart des jours du tournoi et diffusera les grands matchs en direct à la fin du tournoi, y compris les demi-finales et finales masculines et féminines.

NBC est inclus dans le forfait Blue de 40 $ par mois de Sling TV, et vous pouvez également ajouter Tennis Channel pour 11 $ de plus par mois. Entrez votre adresse ici pour voir quelles chaînes locales sont disponibles là où vous vivez.

Suivez la couverture en direct de la cinquième journée de Roland-Garros alors que Djokovik, Sabalenka et Rybakina se qualifient pour le troisième tour à Roland-Garros, avec Casper Ruud et Holger Rune en action tardive.

Avec le coucher du soleil et la disparition des nuages, la soirée a été l'occasion de rattraper le temps perdu dans le planning. Voici quelques éléments que vous avez peut-être manqués :

L'Australien Alex de Minaur, 11e tête de série, a fait un travail facile contre Jaume Munar, s'imposant en deux sets 7-5, 6-1, 6-4.
Il affrontera Jan-Lennard Struff au troisième tour, après que l'Allemand ait choqué Alexander Bublik, 19e tête de série, 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Tommy Paul est sain et sauf. La 14e tête de série américaine a surclassé Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.
Mais le voyage est terminé pour Jelena Ostapenko (9) qui a perdu 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3 contre Clara Tauson.
La star américaine Sofia Kenin attendra Tauson au troisième tour.

L'Open de France est diffusé en direct sur NBC Sports, Peacock et Tennis Channel jusqu'au 9 juin depuis Roland Garros à Paris.

NBC et Peacock reviennent pour une couverture du week-end du milieu ce samedi et dimanche, puis pour les demi-finales et la finale la semaine suivante. Toute la couverture de NBC TV est également diffusée sur NBCSports.com et sur l'application NBC Sports.

SHELTON 7-6(7) 6-4 0-0 NISHIKORI

Ben Shelton (15 ans) a travaillé dur pour obtenir deux sets, mais il n'aura pas voulu accéder au troisième tour en raison d'un abandon.

Malheureusement, Kei Nishikori a décidé d'arrêter avant de commencer le troisième set en raison d'une blessure à l'épaule, mettant ainsi fin à sa première apparition en Grand Chelem en près de trois ans.

Le prochain tour de l'étoile montante américaine Shelton au troisième tour sera la 21e tête de série canadienne Felix Auger-Aliassime, qui a battu Henri Squire en quatre sets plus tôt dans la journée.

Malheureusement, nous avons de nouveau couvert les courts extérieurs de Paris, même si les fortes pluies se sont calmées.

Ce qui signifie qu'il ne nous reste qu'un seul match en direct, celui-ci sur le court Suzanne-Lenglen alors que le finaliste battu de l'année dernière et septième tête de série, Casper Ruud, affronte l'Espagnol Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. Celui-ci en est à cinq matchs et jusqu’à présent, il s’est déroulé au service.

Même si la pluie continue de tomber, il y aura un autre match sur le court Philippe-Chatrier lorsque Lorenzo Musetti (30 ans) affrontera le favori français Gaël Monfils. Mais celui-là ne démarrera que dans 45 minutes.

OFNER 3-6 3-6 6-4 7-5 7-5(5)BAEZ

Cela a été une épopée sur le court 3. L'Argentin Sebastian Baez, 20e tête de série, a remporté les deux premiers sets, seulement pour que l'Autrichien Sebastian Ofner remporte les deux suivants et force un décideur.

Cela s'est poursuivi jusqu'à un tie-break décisif, où Ofner a pris le contrôle très tôt et s'est imposé 10-5.

Un match et un résultat remarquables, qui emmène Ofner dans un match de troisième tour contre le vainqueur Corentin Moutet contre Alexander Shevchenko. Moutet compte actuellement deux sets d'avance, mais un break dans le troisième.

Faisons un petit retour sur l'action sur les courts extérieurs, maintenant nous avons du soleil à Paris :

Liudmila Samsonova, 17e tête de série, a fait un travail facile face à l'outsider américaine Amanda Anisimova, s'imposant 6-2, 6-1.
L'adversaire de Samsonova au troisième tour sera Elisabetta Cocciaretto, qui vient de battre Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4.
Danielle Collins, 11e tête de série américaine, est éliminée, subissant une défaite choc contre Ola Danilovic 6-7 (3), 7-5, 6-4.
Frances Tiafoe (25 ans) est également absente, s'inclinant face à Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

VOLYNETS 6-0 1-6 4-6 VONDROUSOVA

C'était un autre match qui semblait durer des jours mais après une frayeur

Defending champion looks to take a step closer to claiming his 25th Grand Slam title.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic continues the defence of his French Open title as he takes on Spain's Roberto Carballes Baena on Court Philippe Chatrier today.

Djokovic has looked several notches below his best since the start of the year, having so far failed to win a single tournament in 2024, but the Serbian nevertheless showed signs of improvement on Tuesday as he eased past Pierre-Hugues Herbert in straight sets his opening match at Roland Garros on Tuesday. 

He now faces the world No. 63, a clay specialist, but one that Djokovic has beaten easily in their past two encounters, the most recent meeting being a staright sets defeat for Carballes Baena at the 2023 Australian Open. 

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the French Open 2024 live wherever you are in the world.

Novak Djokovic vs. Roberto Carballes Baena: When and where?
This second-round clash takes place on Court Philippe Chatrier at Stade Roland Garros in Paris on Thursday, May 30. The game is set to get underway no earlier than 2:30 p.m. CET local time in France, making it a 8:30 a.m. ET or 5:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 10 a.m. BST start in the UK. For tennis fans in Australia, the match is set to get underway at 10:30 p.m. AEST.

The French Open continues today as the Grand Slam tennis action ramps up at Roland Garros.

Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek arrive in Paris as the respective defending singles champions, and it is the men’s side of the draw where there appears to be more players with realistic hopes of major glory.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have each had injury issues in recent weeks and Djokovic has questions to answer over his form, giving the likes of Alexander Zverev and Casper Ruud hope of making a deep run.

How to watch or stream Novak Djokovic vs. Roberto Carballes Baena in the US
The French Open is being shown live on NBC, Tennis Channel and Peacock. If you don't have a cable or satellite TV subscription, you can watch the matches on NBC and Tennis Channel with a live-TV streaming service. For the big matches at the end of the tournament on NBC, however, you will need to make sure you can get a live feed of NBC in your area. In some markets, you can watch on-demand but not live content from NBC and the other local networks.

If you live in an area with good reception, you can watch matches on NBC for free just by attaching an affordable (under $30) indoor antenna to nearly any TV. 

Peacock offers two Premium plans: The ad-supported Premium plan costs $6 a month, and the ad-free Premium plan costs $12 a month. You can watch the French Open live with either plan. 

Peacock will have live afternoon coverage most days of the tournament and will show the big matches live at the end of the tournament, including the men's and women's semifinals and finals.

NBC is included in Sling TV's $40-a-month Blue package, and you can also add the Tennis Channel for an extra $11 a month. Enter your address here to see which local channels are available where you live.

Follow live coverage of day five at the French Open as Djokovik, Sabalenka, Rybakina breeze into the third round at Roland Garros, with Casper Ruud and Holger Rune in late action

With the sun setting and the rainclouds lifting, the evening has been a good chance to make up for lost time in the schedule. Here are some bits you may have missed:

Australia’s 11th seed Alex de Minaur made light work of Jaume Munar, winning in straight sets 7-5, 6-1, 6-4.
He’ll face Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round, after the German shocked 19th seed Alexander Bublik 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Tommy Paul is safely through though. The US 14th seed outclassed Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.
But the journey is over for Jelena Ostapenko (9) who lost 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3 to Clara Tauson.
US star Sofia Kenin awaits next for Tauson in round three.

The French Open airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through June 9 from Roland Garros in Paris.

NBC and Peacock return for middle weekend coverage this Saturday and Sunday and then the semifinals and finals the following week. All NBC TV coverage also streams on NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app.

SHELTON 7-6(7) 6-4 0-0 NISHIKORI

Ben Shelton (15) did the hard work to get two sets up but he won’t have wanted to progress into the third round through a retirement.

Sadly, Kei Nishikori called it quits ahead of starting the third set due to a shoulder injury – thereby ending his first Grand Slam appearance in almost three years.

Next for US rising star Shelton in the third round will be Canadian 21st seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who beat Henri Squire in four sets earlier today.

Sadly, we've got the covers back on the outside courts in Paris — although the heavy rain has eased off.

Which means we're down to just one live game, that being on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as last year’s beaten finalist and seventh seed, Casper Ruud, takes on Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. This one is five games in and has so far gone with serve.

Even if the rain continues to fall, there will be another game on Court Philippe-Chatrier when Lorenzo Musetti (30) takes on French favorite, Gael Monfils. But that one won’t start for another 45 minutes.

Defending champion looks to take a step closer to claiming his 25th Grand Slam title.

OFNER 3-6 3-6 6-4 7-5 7-5(5) BAEZ

It’s been an epic on Court 3. Argentine 20th seed Sebastian Baez won the first two sets, only for Austria’s Sebastian Ofner to take the next two and force a decider.

That went all the way to a deciding tiebreak, where Ofner took control early and came through 10-5.

A remarkable match and result, which takes Ofner into a third-round match against the winner of Corentin Moutet vs Alexander Shevchenko. Moutet is currently two sets to the good, but a break down in the third.

Let’s have a quick catch-up on some of the action on the outside courts, now we’ve got sunshine in Paris:

17th seed Liudmila Samsonova made light work of US outsider Amanda Anisimova, winning 6-2, 6-1.
Samsonova’s opponent in the third round will be Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who has just beaten Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4.
US 11th seed Danielle Collins is out, suffering a shock loss to Ola Danilovic 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4.
Frances Tiafoe (25) is also out, losing to Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

VOLYNETS 6-0 1-6 4-6 VONDROUSOVA

This was another match that felt like it went on for days but after a scare, fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova is through at the expense of US challenger, Katie Volynets.

Both players exchanged breaks in the decider, but it was Vondrousova who piled on the pressure in the final game with two winners to take advantage of a rare Volynets double fault.

On her third match point, Vondrousova got it done and the Czech will now face French outsider Chloe Paquet in the third round.

Paquet won an epic against another Czech, Katerina Siniakova (32), on Court 7 a little earlier today. That one finished 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(6).

Madison Keys (14) has a beaming smile after pocketing that win over Mayar Sherif in straight sets. Speaking on court, Keys said:

💬 “She really raised her level in the second set. I had a few chances to break but couldn’t do it. Had I done, things might have been different. But I’m really happy to get things done in two sets.

“I missed the beginning of the season and felt some pressure trying to catch-up with everyone in Miami. But once I got some momentum in Madrid, it’s been so far so good. I’m just really happy with how I’m playing and that I get another match here.”

It’s a day off tomorrow for Keys, who said she will try to find an indoor court to practice despite the weather – but if she doesn’t manage it, she’s happy to rest too. That sounds like a lovely place to be.

Madison Keys (14) was dominant in the opening set but the second was very different on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

A brief exchange of breaks mid-set was led by Mayar Sherif, who then earned three set points in the tiebreak. But Keys dug in, saved them all and then took her one and only shot at match point to reach the third round.

Keys will now face either Sara Errani or compatriot and 22nd seed, Emma Navarro in the third round.

DJOKOVIC 6-4 1-0* CARBALLES BAENA

That was a pretty competitive first set from Roberto Carballes Baena against the world No 1 after those early exchanges, but Novak Djokovic knows exactly how to navigate these things.

With the Spaniard serving to stay in the set, Djokovic ups the ante and pockets the first of two break points to nick the opening set.

It remains difficult to see anything other than a straight sets win here for the top seed, but we’ll see.

The covers are coming off
Better news from the outside courts too at Roland Garros, with the covers off and umbrellas put to one side.

Here's hoping we'll get a clear afternoon of play from here on in. There's a lot of catching up to do.

And remember, that includes an earlier start on Friday when play will begin an hour earlier than has been the case this week.

SHELTON 7-6(7) 6-4 0-0 NISHIKORI

Ben Shelton (15) did the hard work to get two sets up but he won’t have wanted to progress into the third round through a retirement.

Sadly, Kei Nishikori called it quits ahead of starting the third set due to a shoulder injury – thereby ending his first Grand Slam appearance in almost three years.

Next for US rising star Shelton in the third round will be Canadian 21st seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, who beat Henri Squire in four sets earlier today.

Sadly, we've got the covers back on the outside courts in Paris — although the heavy rain has eased off.

Which means we're down to just one live game, that being on Court Suzanne-Lenglen as last year’s beaten finalist and seventh seed, Casper Ruud, takes on Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina. This one is five games in and has so far gone with serve.

Even if the rain continues to fall, there will be another game on Court Philippe-Chatrier when Lorenzo Musetti (30) takes on French favorite, Gael Monfils. But that one won’t start for another 45 minutes.

OFNER 3-6 3-6 6-4 7-5 7-5(5) BAEZ

It’s been an epic on Court 3. Argentine 20th seed Sebastian Baez won the first two sets, only for Austria’s Sebastian Ofner to take the next two and force a decider.

That went all the way to a deciding tiebreak, where Ofner took control early and came through 10-5.

A remarkable match and result, which takes Ofner into a third-round match against the winner of Corentin Moutet vs Alexander Shevchenko. Moutet is currently two sets to the good, but a break down in the third.

Let’s have a quick catch-up on some of the action on the outside courts, now we’ve got sunshine in Paris:

17th seed Liudmila Samsonova made light work of US outsider Amanda Anisimova, winning 6-2, 6-1.
Samsonova’s opponent in the third round will be Elisabetta Cocciaretto, who has just beaten Cristina Bucsa 6-1, 6-4.
US 11th seed Danielle Collins is out, suffering a shock loss to Ola Danilovic 6-7(3), 7-5, 6-4.
Frances Tiafoe (25) is also out, losing to Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek avoided a major upset loss to Naomi Osaka on Wednesday

Despite rain suspending some of the outdoor matches, the second round of the 2024 French Open is underway. It is still early in the tournament, but world No. 1 Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka already gave us one of the most exciting matches. Swiatek is chasing her fourth title at Roland Garros, but her plans were almost spoiled by Osaka -- who was competing in just her second Grand Slam since returning from maternity leave in January.

After Swiatek won the first set Wednesday, Osaka cruised through the second while breaking her opponent three times, then carried that momentum into a 4-1 lead in the third. However, Swiatek was not easy to keep down as she climbed her way back to win 7-6, 1-6, 7-5. Swiatek is now riding a 14-match winning streak, which includes claiming the Madrid and Italian Open trophies. This was also Swiatek's 16th-straight win at Roland Garros. 

The other top seeds in the women's tournament are still alive. No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka had a promising 2023 campaign and started this Grand Slam season with her second-straight title at the Australian Open. She took care of business against Erika Andreeva in the first round and will be facing Monika Uchijima in the second. Meanwhile, third-seeded Coco Gauff earned her ticket to the third round with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Tamara Zidansek on Wednesday. 

On the men's side, Novak Djokovic is looking to go back-to-back and win a record 25th Grand Slam trophy. Historically, this tournament has belonged to Rafael Nadal, but the Spanish veteran saw an early exit and

Nadal missed last year's tournament for the first time in his career due to injury and, although he hasn't been 100% healthy this year, he decided to give the French Open a try. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has won the trophy 14 times -- more than any other player in tennis history. However, he was unable to make a deep run as he fell 3-6, 6-7 (5-7), 3-6 to world No. 4 Alexander Zverev in the first round. 

If Nadal retires at the end of the season, the only member of the Big Three still playing would be Djokovic, who passed Nadal for most Grand Slam trophies in men's tennis history at last year's French Open. Djokovic took care of business this week with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 6-4 first-round win over Pierre-Hugues Herbert. Djokovic is now set to take on Roberto Carballes Baena on Thursday. 

Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 French Open:

The French Open is now underway as the world’s best players battle it out on the famous clay courts of Roland Garros. Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek are the defending champions but there are a whole host of contenders at the second Grand Slam of 2024.

A remarkable match and result, which takes Ofner into a third-round match against the winner of Corentin Moutet vs Alexander Shevchenko. Moutet is currently two sets to the good, but a break down in the third.

Let’s have a quick catch-up on some of the action on the outside courts, now we’ve got sunshine in Paris:

Frances Tiafoe (25) is also out, losing to Denis Shapovalov 6-7(4), 6-4, 6-2, 6-4.

VOLYNETS 6-0 1-6 4-6 VONDROUSOVA

This was another match that felt like it went on for days but after a scare, fifth seed Marketa Vondrousova is through at the expense of US challenger, Katie Volynets.

Both players exchanged breaks in the decider, but it was Vondrousova who piled on the pressure in the final game with two winners to take advantage of a rare Volynets double fault.

On her third match point, Vondrousova got it done and the Czech will now face French outsider Chloe Paquet in the third round.

Paquet won an epic against another Czech, Katerina Siniakova (32), on Court 7 a little earlier today. That one finished 3-6, 7-6(2), 7-6(6).

Madison Keys (14) has a beaming smile after pocketing that win over Mayar Sherif in straight sets. Speaking on court, Keys said:

💬 “She really raised her level in the second set. I had a few chances to break but couldn’t do it. Had I done, things might have been different. But I’m really happy to get things done in two sets.

“I missed the beginning of the season and felt some pressure trying to catch-up with everyone in Miami. But once I got some momentum in Madrid, it’s been so far so good. I’m just really happy with how I’m playing and that I get another match here.”

It’s a day off tomorrow for Keys, who said she will try to find an indoor court to practice despite the weather – but if she doesn’t manage it, she’s happy to rest too. That sounds like a lovely place to be.

Madison Keys (14) was dominant in the opening set but the second was very different on Court Suzanne-Lenglen.

A brief exchange of breaks mid-set was led by Mayar Sherif, who then earned three set points in the tiebreak. But Keys dug in, saved them all and then took her one and only shot at match point to reach the third round.

Keys will now face either Sara Errani or compatriot and 22nd seed, Emma Navarro in the third round.

DJOKOVIC 6-4 1-0* CARBALLES BAENA

That was a pretty competitive first set from Roberto Carballes Baena against the world No 1 after those early exchanges, but Novak Djokovic knows exactly how to navigate these things.

With the Spaniard serving to stay in the set, Djokovic ups the ante and pockets the first of two break points to nick the opening set.

It remains difficult to see anything other than a straight sets win here for the top seed, but we’ll see.

The covers are coming off
Better news from the outside courts too at Roland Garros, with the covers off and umbrellas put to one side.

Here's hoping we'll get a clear afternoon of play from here on in. There's a lot of catching up to do.

And remember, that includes an earlier start on Friday when play will begin an hour earlier than has been the case this week.

RUUD 7-6 1-6 6-3 2-5 DAVIDOVICH FOKINA
Ruud unloads a big crosscourt forehand to hold to 30 and then forces two break back points with a sharp, low return.
It’s often a mixed bag from Foki as he follows up some shockers with moments of magic and he delivers here under stress to hold from deuce and close-in on taking us into a decider.
21:05
RUUD 7-6 1-6 6-3 1-4 DAVIDOVICH FOKINA
The World No.32 often seems to have more penetration on his attempt at killer shots. A case in point comes when he ends an eye-catching exchange with a sizzling backhand winner up the line.
Ruud benefits from a net cord to make deuce but an emphatic smash and a booming forehand see the Spaniard back up the break.

The 2024 French Open continues on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 (5/29/24) with the second round of the competition at Roland Garros in Paris, France. The tournament concludes on Sunday, June 9, 2024 (6/9/24).

BREAK! – RUUD 7-6 1-6 6-3 1-3 DAVIDOVICH FOKINA
That’s a shocker from Ruud.
He allows Foki to be the aggressor throughout and is too passive as the Spaniard clocks up triple break point with a crosscourt forehand.
The Scandinavian fends off one but then drills a tame forehand into the net to hand over the momentum.
20:56
RUUD 7-6 1-6 6-3 1-2 DAVIDOVICH FOKINA
Foki survives a near 10-minute examination of his serve, saving a break point along the way.
The Spaniard then takes a medical time-out for a blister on his finger.

The French Open 2024 has started in a relatively predictable manner so far, paving the way for blockbuster clashes to come at Roland-Garros.

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic heads up the men's singles tournament with the top 15 seeds all safely into the second round.

Iga Swiatek is the frontrunner in the women's tournament with 13 of the top 15 having cleared the first hurdle.

Follow live coverage of day five at the French Open as Djokovik, Sabalenka, Rybakina breeze into the third round at Roland Garros, with Casper Ruud and Holger Rune in late action

With the sun setting and the rainclouds lifting, the evening has been a good chance to make up for lost time in the schedule. Here are some bits you may have missed:

Australia’s 11th seed Alex de Minaur made light work of Jaume Munar, winning in straight sets 7-5, 6-1, 6-4.
He’ll face Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round, after the German shocked 19th seed Alexander Bublik 6-2, 6-2, 6-3.
Tommy Paul is safely through though. The US 14th seed outclassed Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-0, 6-2.
But the journey is over for Jelena Ostapenko (9) who lost 7-6(4), 4-6, 6-3 to Clara Tauson.
US star Sofia Kenin awaits next for Tauson in round three.
