The 2020 French Open was a major tennis tournament played on outdoor clay courts. It was held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France. Originally scheduled for 24 May to 7 June, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was first moved to 20 September to 4 October 2020, then later moved back a week further to 27 September to 11 October 2020. Qualifying matches, comprising singles and doubles play, began 21 September. Junior and wheelchair tournaments were also scheduled. Rafael Nadal was the twelve-time and defending champion in men's singles; Ashleigh Barty was the defending champion in women's singles but chose not to defend her title following concerns over the pandemic.[1]
It was the 119th edition of the French Open and the last Grand Slam event of 2020. The main singles draws included 16 qualifiers for men and 12 for women out of 128 players in each draw.
It was also the only Grand Slam tournament to retain the advantage set in the final set of a match, as the Australian Open and Wimbledon recently switched to tiebreaks.[2][3]
The men's singles title was won for the 13th time by Rafael Nadal, who won his 20th Grand Slam title, defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the final. The women's singles title was won by Iga Świątek, who won her maiden WTA singles title, defeating Sofia Kenin in straight sets in the final. This was the first time in the Open Era that neither the men's nor women's singles champions dropped a set throughout the entire tournament. With his victory, Nadal equalled Roger Federer's all-time record of 20 Grand Slam titles. Świątek became the first player from Poland, male or female, and the first player born in the 21st century, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title.
Tournament
The 2020 French Open was the 124th edition of the French Open and was held at Stade Roland Garros in Paris. It was also the first year in which there was a retractable roof on the French tennis courts, after construction was completed on Court Phillipe Chatrier in late 2019, with plans in place to also have a roof on Court Suzanne Lenglen by 2023.[4] Additionally, it was also the first year in which night tennis was possible, as floodlights were installed for the twelve courts. The sunset in Paris in September and October 2020 was at approximately before 8:00 pm CEST rather than the normal May to June schedule, which would be around after 9:30 pm CEST. Night matches did not fully conduct until the 2021 tournament. Due to weather delays, Iga Świątek and Martina Trevisan played the first ever women's match to begin at night in French Open history during their quarterfinal match.[5] A few hours later, Rafael Nadal and Jannik Sinner's quarterfinal became the first ever men's match to start at night in French Open history. Their match, which was played under very cold and windy conditions, started after 10:00 pm and finished at 1:26 am. This was the first ever French Open match to finish after midnight.[6][7]
The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and was part of the 2020 ATP Tour and the 2020 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consisted of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws.[8]
There was a singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which was part of the Grade A category of tournaments,[9] and singles and doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players under the Grand Slam category.[10] The tournament was played on clay courts and took place over a series of 23 courts, including the three main showcourts, Court Philippe Chatrier, Court Suzanne Lenglen and Court Simonne Mathieu.[8][11]
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
Normally, this event is held on the fourth Sunday of May and ending in early June and is the second Grand Slam of the year on the peak of the spring clay court season. Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, on 17 March, French Tennis Federation announced the tournament had been postponed and dates were moved first to 20 September to 4 October 2020 (the dates were initially scheduled for the annual Asian Hard Court swing which would be eventually cancelled on 24 July), and then moved a week further to 27 September to 11 October 2020, just two weeks after the 2020 US Open and the cancellation of the 2020 Wimbledon Championships. For the first time since the 1947 French Championships, this event was not held on the traditional May–June schedule and it was the first time since the introduction of the Open Era that a major tournament was postponed rather than cancelled. On 13 April 2020, the French Government extended a ban on mass gatherings until July 2020 in a bid to control the spread of the virus.[12]
The Laver Cup was scheduled from 24 to 27 September, conflicting with the initial new date for the French Open (20 September to 4 October), before being postponed to 2021.[13]
On 7 September, it was announced the three main courts would have a maximum capacity of 11,500 spectators during the 15-day tournament, with 5,000 each in Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen, and 1,500 in Court Simonne Mathieu. Matches on other courts would take place without spectators including the qualifying events. These guidelines followed from official health and safety protocols including social distancing regulations from the regional government. According to the tournament director Guy Forget, players and personnel would have to be tested for the virus upon arrival in Paris to confirm a negative test result and a second test 72 hours later. Players would then have to stay at two hotels stipulated by organizers once they get tested. On 17 September, the spectator capacity for each match was reduced to 5,000 in all of the three main courts owing to an ongoing surge in the number of coronavirus cases in France, and couple of days later, the capacity was reduced once again to 1,000 starting on the eve of the main tournament.[14][15][16]
The mixed doubles event did not take place this year and this was the second consecutive Grand Slam not holding the event after the US Open.[17][18]
Singles players
Events
Men's singles
Rafael Nadal def. 
Novak Djokovic, 6–0, 6–2, 7–5
The men's singles event began on 27 September with the first of seven total rounds. 32 players were seeded, while the other 96 players were not.[21] Of those seeded players, eleven were defeated in the first round, notably No. 4 Daniil Medvedev,[22] No. 8 Gaël Monfils,[23] and No. 11 David Goffin.[24] As the French Open is the only remaining Grand Slam tournament that uses the advantage set, there exists the possibility of significantly longer final sets, as seen in the first round match between Lorenzo Giustino and Corentin Moutet. The match was won after just over six hours by the former, 0–6, 7–6 (7), 7–6 (3), 2–6, 18–16, and was the second-longest match in French Open history.[25] Denis Shapovalov, John Isner, and Dušan Lajović were the highest of the five seeded players to exit in the second round,[26][27] and a further nine seeded players were defeated in the third and fourth rounds. Of the eight players that qualified for the finals, seven were seeded, with Jannik Sinner (who lost only one set in the first four rounds combined) the lone exception.[28]
In the quarterfinals, No. 1 Novak Djokovic defeated No. 17 Pablo Carreño Busta (Djokovic's loss in the first set was his first dropped set of the tournament),[29] No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas defeated No. 13 Andrey Rublev,[30] No. 12 Diego Schwartzman upset No. 3 Dominic Thiem,[31] and No. 2 Rafael Nadal ended the upset bid of Jannik Sinner.[32] The two semifinal matches told very different tales; Nadal dominated Schwartzman, beating him in straight sets,[33] while Djokovic opened against Tsitsipas by winning the first two sets, but dropped the next two before winning the final set 6–1 to take the match.[34] In the championship, Nadal opened dominantly with a first-set bagel and a 6–2 performance in the second set, and finished with a 7–5 final set to win the title. This marked Nadal's fourth consecutive and 13th overall French Open title and his 20th overall Grand Slam singles title, equaling Roger Federer's all-time record.[35] Furthermore, Nadal did not lose a single set throughout the entire tournament.
Women's singles
Iga Świątek def. 
Sofia Kenin, 6–4, 6–1
The women's singles event began on 27 September with the first of seven total rounds. 32 players were seeded, while the other 96 players were not.[21] Twelve seeded players lost in the first round, notably No. 9 Johanna Konta,[36] No. 12 Madison Keys,[37] and No. 15 Markéta Vondroušová,[38] and a further seven fell in the second round, among them No. 2 Karolína Plíšková,[39] No. 10 Victoria Azarenka,[40] and No. 14 Elena Rybakina.[41] Sixth-seeded Serena Williams withdrew prior to her second round match (awarded on walkover to Tsvetana Pironkova) because of an achilles injury.[42] Ten seeded players lost in the third and fourth round combined, including top seed Simona Halep.[43]
Only three seeded players qualified for the finals. In the quarterfinals, three matches were decided in straight sets: No. 3 Elina Svitolina was upset by Nadia Podoroska,[44] Iga Świątek defeated Martina Trevisan,[45] and No. 7 Petra Kvitová beat Laura Siegemund.[46] No. 4 Sofia Kenin's defeat of Danielle Collins was the only to go to a third set.[47] In the semifinals, Świątek defeated Podoroska and Kenin beat Kvitová, both in straight sets.[48][49] This set up a final between Świątek and Kenin, which was won easily by Świątek, 6–4, 6–1.[50] This was Świątek's first WTA singles title, as she became first Polish player, male or female, to win a Grand Slam singles title. Świątek did not drop a set throughout the entire tournament, did not lose more than 4 games per set, and did not lose more than 5 games in any match.[51]
Men's doubles
Kevin Krawietz / Andreas Mies def. 
Mate Pavić / 
Bruno Soares, 6–3, 7–5
The men's doubles event began on 29 September with the first of six total rounds. 16 pairs were seeded, while the other 48 players were not.[21] In the first round, only one seeded pair lost: tenth-seeded Raven Klaasen and Oliver Marach.[52] In addition, 12th-seeded Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecău advanced after playing just one set after Cristian Garín and Pedro Martínez retired. The second round saw the elimination of just three more seeded pairs, No. 4 Łukasz Kubot/Marcelo Melo,[53] No. 11 John Peers/Michael Venus,[54] and No. 16 Austin Krajicek/Franko Škugor.[55] However, in the third round, six of the remaining twelve seeded pairs lost, notably second-seed Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos,[56] fifth-seed Ivan Dodig and Filip Polášek,[57] and sixth-seed Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut.[58]
In the quarterfinals, the top-seeded pair of Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah dropped their opening set for the third time in four matches before coming back to win in three over Frederik Nielsen and Tim Pütz.[59] No. 7 Mate Pavić and Bruno Soares dropped their first set as well before winning the final two to defeat Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury, the No. 3 pair.[60] The other two quarterfinal matches were decided in straight sets: No. 9 Wesley Koolhof and Nikola Mektić defeated Nicholas Monroe and Tommy Paul,[61] and No. 8 Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies defeated No. 13 Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski.[62] In the semifinals, Pavić and Soares pulled off a straight-set upset of the top seeded pair,[63] while Krawietz and Mies defeated Koolhof and Mektić in two sets as well.[64] This set up a final between Pavić/Soares and Krawietz/Mies, which was won by the latter pair in straight sets.[65] This marked the second Grand Slam title for both players, as they had won the French Open doubles championship the year prior for their first title.
Women's doubles

Alexa Guarachi / Desirae Krawczyk, 6–4, 7–5
