The 34-year-old has a lot to prove in the Grand Slam. Meanwhile, World No.5 Elina Svitolina will face Varvara Gracheva in the first round of the French Open 2020. As big players like Ashleigh Barty and Naomi Osaka are not playing, it is a good opportunity for the Ukrainian to reach the later stages of the tournament and even win it. On the other hand, Djokovic is coming to Roland Garros after winning the Italian Open [https://www.internazionalibnlditalia.com/en/] 2020. He is unbeaten in 2020 so far, but the French Open will definitely be his biggest challenge. He will look to end the season on a high by winning his 2nd French Open title.
