With the pros ready to hit the dirt in Paris, here's a quick guide to TENNIS.com's coverage of the action.

STARTER KIT

Get set for all the action in Paris with these  men’s and women’s previews, and see who the consensus favorites are with our poll of editors’ picks. As Roger Federer goes for a career Slam, we've also taken a look at his odds of success – literally. American men have traditionally struggled on the red clay of Paris and the number of American women at the top of the game has dwindled in recent years, so we've also taken a look at how U.S. players are expected to fare over the next two weeks. For more on the top names, see TENNIS.com’s players section for biographical details, tournament stats and photo galleries.

TV viewers have the potential for near wall-to-wall coverage of the event this year, with the Tennis Channel, ESPN and NBC all taking it in turns to provide broadcasts from the grounds of Roland Garros. Don’t lose track of what’s on when – keep the TV schedule handy as you plan your channel-surfing.

The cast is always a little different at the French Open because of the red clay – we'll be putting up an alternative seedings list to work out who’ll get an advantage on the surface and who might be hampered.
