The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters has just launched the clay court season and Olympic Games oblige, ocher will probably upset the calendar and the program of the majority of the world’s elite. Both in women and men. As you probably know, infrastructure Roland-Garros will host the tennis events during the next Paris Olympics and therefore postpone the season on land. However, Wimbledon will indeed take place before the Games and there is no doubt that the tennis results will be somewhat upset by an unusual calendar, if only in the sequence between the surfaces for those who have real ambitions of an Olympic title . Even before Roland-Garros takes place in its classic version and a few weeks before the start of the Games, focus on everything you need to know about the little yellow ball during the Paris 2024 fortnight.

Who are the title holders?
Tennis and the Olympic Games do not have a fantastic common history due to the rapid professionalization of the sport and its abandonment within the Olympic program in 1924… Date of the last Summer Olympic Games organized in France!
However, the little yellow ball has been part of the Olympic program since Seoul 1988 and although it is not the most followed during the Olympic fortnight, the competition remains really important for the best players in the world. The prize list confirms this idea with among the winners of previous editions, legendary names like those of Justine Henin or Serena Williams for women as well as Andy Murray or Rafael Nadal for men.
Organized in 2021, the last Olympic Games have crowned (in singles) athletes whom many consider to be the future faces of the discipline. Titled in singles after a rather surprising tournament, the Swiss Belinda Bencic will probably not put her Olympic title (nor her silver medal obtained in doubles) on the line since she is currently absent from the circuit due to maternity. Alexander Zverev should defend his trophy and do everything to offer Germany a new medal after its success in Tokyo.
