PARIS — No surprise here: Iga Swiatek is a heavy favorite to win the women’s title, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, which lists her as a –155 money-line pick for what would be her fourth trophy at the French Open and third in a row. There is a big gap to the next player, two-time Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, who is at +500, followed by 2023 U.S. Open champ Coco Gauff and Wimbledon champ Elena Rybakina at +1000 apiece.
Naomi Osaka will get things started in Court Philippe Chatrier against Lucia Bronzetti of Italy, scheduled to start at 12 p.m. local time . That will be followed in the main stadium by Carlos Alcaraz against J.J. Wolf of the U.S., who could start around 2 p.m. . The most eye-catching matchup might be Andy Murray, 37, vs. Stan Wawrinka, 39, in a showdown between a pair of three-time major champions. That is the night session match at Chatrier, scheduled to begin after 8:15 p.m. .
Total prize money for the 2024 French Open is rising to nearly 53.5 million euros, about $58 million - an increase of nearly 8% from last year. The two singles champions each will receive 2.4 million euros, about $2.6 million.
