French Open 2020 preview: Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams play in Paris

Rafael Nadal returns to Grand Slam tennis and aims to move level with Roger Federer's tally of 20 major titles when an unfamiliar-looking French Open starts in Paris on Sunday.

Nadal, 34, skipped the recent US Open but is generally considered the favourite to win a record-extending 13th title at Roland Garros.

Federer is out with a knee injury but top seed Novak Djokovic and wildcard Andy Murray are in the men's draw.

In the women's singles, Serena Williams goes again for a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title.

British number one Johanna Konta leads the nation's hopes of its first singles champion at Roland Garros since Sue Barker in 1976.
