Alongside the singles events at Roland Garros, the 2024 French Open doubles tournaments are exciting to watch. With fast-paced tennis, stunning net play, and a totally different style from the singles matches, these doubles events are well worth tuning in for. And that’s precisely why I’ve created a breakdown of the French Open doubles events for 2024 right here.
For those who are interested, you can watch the doubles action through several French Open live streaming options in various parts of the world. In the UK, this is all done through Eurosport 1 and 2, accessible directly or via the Discovery+ app. Additionally, you can wager on the action if that’s something you are interested in.
As for the specifics of the doubles events at Roland Garros, let me dive into those now.
2024 French Open doubles – event overview
As mentioned above, there are several doubles tournaments taking place at Roland Garros in 2024. These include the men’s and women’s doubles, mixed doubles, as well as the wheelchair doubles event. The men’s and women’s doubles events consist of a 64-pairing draw, meaning there are 128 players at the start of the event – just like the French Open draw for singles.
As for the mixed doubles, this has a smaller 32-pairing draw, and they will follow a championship tie-break format for the third set. Lastly, there’s a wheelchair doubles draw starting slightly later over the two-week period, which has 8 pairs in total.
Top seeds for the French Open doubles
Now it’s time to shift the spotlight to the top contenders for the French Open doubles tournaments in 2024. Therefore, I’ve broken down the top 4 seeds for the men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles in the sections below. At the same time, I’ve given some insight into their seedings and standings coming into the doubles events for 2024.
Men’s doubles
The top four seeds for the men’s doubles event this year are as follows:
- Seed one – Granollers/Zeballos
- Seed two – Bopanna/Ebden
- Seed three – Ram/Salisbury
- Seed four – Dodig/Krajicek
Having won the 2024 Australian Open doubles event, Bopanna/Ebden are the number two seeds. But last year’s champions, Dodig/Krajicek, are the 4th seeds.
Women’s doubles
Looking at the draw for the French Open women’s doubles event, the top four seeds are as follows:
- Seed one – Su-wei/Mertens
- Seed two – Melichar-Martinez/Perez
- Seed three – Schuurs/Stefani
- Seed four – Krejcikova/Siegemund
Given that they won the Australian Open together in January, and because Su-wei is the defending champion, the top seeds are the pair everyone is talking about here.
Mixed doubles
Lastly, let me identify the top seeds for the mixed doubles event in 2024:
- Seed one – Perez/Ebden
- Seed two – Siegemund/Roger-Vasselin
- Seed three – Schuurs/Koolhof
- Seed four – Krawczyk/Skupski
Perez/Ebden might be the number two seeds here. But this tournament is very open, with no clear-cut favourites based on recent form or outstanding victories.
French Open doubles 2024 – likely winners
To wrap up this coverage of the 2024 French Open doubles tournament, I figured I’d share my two cents and who could win the tournament for these three events. I’ve made my French Open predictions for the singles event earlier in the week – so it makes sense to back this up with some doubles predictions too. Therefore, without further ado, let me give my outright winner predictions for these doubles events:
- Men’s doubles – Bopanna/Ebden
- Women’s doubles – Krejcikova/Siegemund
- Mixed doubles – Su-wei/Zielinski
Due to their recent performances in major tournaments, as well as their abilities on clay courts, I feel those three pairs all have a solid chance in Paris.
