Kvitova has been the most prolific title winner on the WTA Tour over the past two seasons and reached her first grand slam final for five years at the Australian Open. A tough loss saw Osaka hit top spot in the rankings instead but Kvitova is now among the favourites on every surface.
Serena Williams
Marketa Vondrousova

Austrian Thiem is seen as the heir to Nadal’s throne as the king of clay and reached his first slam final in Paris last summer. He was well beaten by the Spaniard on that day but defeated him on clay for the fourth successive season in Barcelona last month and went on to win the title.

The young Greek’s run to the Australian Open semi-finals, beating Federer, cemented his status as a superstar in the making. The 20-year-old was shattered by the manner of his defeat by Nadal in the last four but turned the tables superbly when they met on clay in Madrid earlier this month. Fully believes he is ready to win a slam.

Not an easy name to remember, but definitely not one to forget. The breakthrough star of 2019 on the men’s side has undoubtedly been the 18-year-old Canadian, who is the 25th seed at Roland Garros. This year is probably too soon for him to make a big impact at the slams but he has already reached clay-court finals in Rio and, this weekend, Lyon.

A new name on the ATP Tour, Chilean Garin undoubtedly goes into the tournament as a dark horse. The 22-year-old is one of two players outside the top 10 to have won two titles in 2019. He is making his main draw debut at Roland Garros but won the junior title in 2013, beating Borna Coric and Alexander Zverev.
