French Open 2018: Men's bracket, schedule, and scores

We have everything you need to know for the men’s draw of the French Open, including schedule, streaming info, scores and more.

The 2018 French Open from Roland Garros, the second of four Grand Slam tennis events, is about to get underway, and all eyes are on the “King of Clay”, Rafael Nadal. A ten-time champion of the French Open, Nadal’s nickname is apt and earned. He’s also drawn into a top half that is generally considered to be easier than the bottom half.

All of Alexander Zverev, the second seed, Dominic Thiem, Novak Djokovic, Grigor Dimitrov and Kei Nishikori are in the bottom half of the draw. Nadal is 79-2 on the clay of Roland Garros, and doesn’t necessarily need the assistance of a good draw, but he got it.

Juan Martin Del Potro, always good for an upset, is in the top half of the draw, along with Marin Cilic. Nadal looks to be a on a trajectory that will place him against Kevin Anderson, the sixth seed, in the quarterfinals. Nadal has beaten Anderson all five times they’ve faced each other.

Once again, Roger Federer is electing to skip the French Open the the bulk of the clay court season to rest. It’s not that he can’t contend with Nadal definitively, he’s just getting up there in years and wants to be fresh for the grass courts, his best surface. Andy Murray, one of the top players, will not be in action at the French Open due to injury.

Below, you can find the bracket, schedule, viewing information and updated match results from the tournament.
