Novak Djokovic and Aryna Sabalenka were crowned champions at the Australian Open, but who will win the second Grand Slam of 2023 at the French Open?
Carlos Alcaraz and Djokovic are the most-fancied players in the men's draw at Roland-Garros, with defending champion Rafael Nadal unable to compete, while all eyes are on Iga Swiatek and Sabalenka in the women's draw.
Djokovic was once again victorious in Australia as he clinched a record-extending 10th title at his favourite major and a record-equalling 22nd Grand Slam singles title to draw level with his great rival, Rafael Nadal.
Djokovic will have his sights on the Calendar Slam, a feat not achieved by a male player since Rod Laver in 1969.
On the women's side in Melbourne, Sabalenka sealed her maiden Grand Slam triumph with a hard-fought three-set victory over Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in the showpiece on Rod Laver Arena.
It should also not be overlooked that Britain's Alfie Hewett produced another heroic performance at a Grand Slam as he won both the doubles title, alongside his longstanding partner Gordon Reid, and the singles for the first time in Melbourne.
When is the 2023 French Open?
The next Grand Slam of the season at Roland-Garros will play out from Sunday, May 28 until Sunday, June 11.
The women's draw and men's draw were made on Thursday, May 25.
As with the Australian Open, the French Open will be live on discovery+, the Eurosport app and at eurosport.co.uk
When is Wimbledon 2023?
The third Grand Slam of the season will take place at the All England Club from Monday, July 3 until Sunday, July 16.
When is the 2023 US Open?
The final Grand Slam of the season at Flushing Meadows in New York will run from Monday, August 28 until Sunday, September 10.

Will Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray play at the French Open?
Rafael Nadal will not compete at the French Open after he was forced to withdraw due to an injury that has kept him out of action since the Australian Open.
Djokovic, meanwhile, has recovered from an elbow problem in time to compete in Paris.
Murray elected to withdraw from the French Open, where he has featured only once since 2017, as he focuses on preparing for the grass-court season.

Thiem on Djokovic's Calendar Slam chances
Djokovic was one win away from winning all four Grand Slams in 2021 as he lost in the US Open final.
Former US Open champion Dominic Thiem thinks there will be several challengers that could stop Djokovic this season.
“I have the feeling that there are many players now who can beat those two guys [Djokovic and Nadal],” Thiem told Ruud Talk.
“There are great guys there, but obviously, also those two, three when Roger [Federer] was there, they were still one level above all the others, especially in the Slams, especially when it came to the best-of-five.
“For the whole tennis world it would be nice to see one last showdown in Roland-Garros, obviously, but Novak will still be the man to beat in the Grand Slams in 2023.
“The only tournament is Roland-Garros: if Rafael is fit there, it's exactly the opposite. He's the man to beat, obviously, when he won the tournament 14 times, it's crazy.
“But if you see the performance of Novak at the Australian Open, which was incredible, he's going to be probably the favourite at Wimbledon and the US Open as well.”
