French Open schedule 2023: How to watch and today’s order of play
Iga Swiatek will return to Court Phillippe Chatrier in pursuit of her third French Open title in four years and her fourth major title, aged only 22.
Swiatek has suffered just two defeats on the Parisian clay, winning her first title as an unseeded teenager in 2020 before the Pole reclaimed it in 2022.
Swiatek is yet to drop a set this year – although she was pushed hard in the semi-finals by Beatriz Haddad Maia – and will be a big favourite to beat Czech Karolina Muchova.
Muchova, the world No 43, is the fourth-lowest ranked woman to reach the final of the French Open, continuing a trend of unexpected contenders at the major.
The Czech has not come from nowhere though, having made at least the quarter-finals at every major except the US Open, and would surely have been a consistent member of the top 20 but for injuries.
She produced a stunning victory over second seed Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals on Thursday, battling back from 5-2 down in the deciding set and saving a match point in a three-hour epic.
Her final opponent is a fan, with Swiatek saying: “I really like her game. I really respect her, and she’s, I feel like, a player who can do anything. She has great touch. She can also speed up the game.”
Muchova and Swiatek’s only previous meeting came back in 2019, when the Czech won a close battle.
Intriguingly, Muchova maintained her perfect record against players ranked in the top three by beating Sabalenka, extending it to 5-0.

When is the French Open 2023 final?

The men’s and women’s singles champions will each take home €2.3 million (£2 million) and the finalists will earn €1.15 million (£1 million).
What happened to the British players?
Cameron Norrie’s tournament ended with a crushing third-round defeat to Lorenzo Musetti. Jack Draper retired from his first round match against Tomas Etcheverry with a shoulder problem while Dan Evans also went out in the opening round, losing 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 to Australia’s Thanasi Kokkinakis.
Britons were notably absent on the women’s side, after a dreadful qualifying tournament and due to the absence of Emma Raducanu through injury. It is the first time since 2009 that no British women have featured in the main draw at a major.
Why is Andy Murray not playing in Paris?
Andy Murray withdrew from this year’s French Open to prioritise the grass-court season in the build-up to Wimbledon.
Murray was beaten in the first round of the Italian Open and made another early exit on clay after losing to Stan Wawrinka at an ATP Challenger event in Bordeaux.
The 36-year-old is understood to still be considering which tournaments to target which may include Queen’s from June 19-25.
