If a third-set tiebreak is necessary, the first team to score ten points with a two-point lead will win the match.

In advance of the official draw, here is what we already know.

1. Men’s Doubles: The Tsitsipas Brothers Will Make Their Paris Debut

The Greek duo of Stefanos Tsitsipas and his younger brother Petros Tsitsipas will continue their 2023 trend of playing doubles in the Grand Slams.

They first appeared on the scene at the Australian Open when they lost in the second round.

Stefanos is believed to be a viable contender for the singles title so if he advances in both singles and doubles, it will be interesting to see how he handles the schedule.

Speaking of brothers, though Andy Murray is not playing in this year’s French Open, his brother Jamie Murray will be playing doubles with Michael Venus from New Zealand.

Jamie is a 7-time doubles Grand Slam champion but has never won at Roland Garros.

The American team of Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula were the French Open runners-up in 2022.

The pair has been successful in earning WTA titles, but the maiden Grand Slam has eluded them thus far.

Their toughest opponents could be the two-time French Open champions in 2018 and 2021, Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova.

One of the newer doubles teams on the WTA Tour, Canadian Leylah Fernandez and American Taylor Townsend are expected to make their French Open debut.

An All-American doubles team of young players has entered and could be interesting to follow.
