Sense of Normality Returns to French Open

The French Open is the first Grand Slam tournament without any COVID-19 restrictions since the pandemic started in early 2020. Tunisian Ons Jabeur, one of the favorites to win the women's singles, opened proceedings on the main Philippe Chatrier court against Pole Magda Linette. Carlos Alcaraz is starting his campaign against Juan Ignacio Londero in the last match on Chatier. Novak Djokovic is due to make his return to Grand slam action on Monday after he was not allowed to take part in Australian Open because of his refusal to be vaccinated against COVI- 19.
