The French Open is here, and Doubles Take is there for you, recapping the last warm-up tournaments along with a preview of the main event.

A SWISS HIT

In Geneva, Switzerland, top seeds Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau lived up to their lofty status atop the draw, winning their second title of the year. In the final, they defeated Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in a come-from-behind thriller, 2-6, 7-6 (9), 10-6.

FEELING IT IN FRANCE

Adil Shamasdin and Andres Molteni took full advantage of the withdrawal of top seeds Ivan Dodig and Marcel Granollers before the tournament to take home the title. The duo defeated Marcus Daniell and Marcelo Demoliner, 6-3, 3-6, 10-5. It’s the third career doubles title for Shamasdin and Molteni’s second.

AWESOME AUSTRALIANS

It’s another title for Ashleigh Barty in her comeback year from playing cricket. She doubled up in Malaysia earlier in the year, winning the singles and doubles with Casey Dellacqua. In Strasbourg, the Aussie team beat sisters Hao-Ching Chan and Yung-Jan Chan, 6-4, 6-2.

THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM

After reaching two finals already this year with different partners, American Nicole Melichar finally broke through winning the Nurnberg Cup in Germany with Brit Anna Smith for her first career title. Their final against Kirsten Flipkens and Johanna Larsson went down to the wire before they prevailed by a 3-6, 6-3, 11-9 scoreline.

A LOOK AHEAD: THE FRENCH OPEN

The second Grand Slam of the season is here, with both the men’s and women’s doubles draws reflecting a staggering level of depth.

Henri Kontinen and John Peers are the top seeds. However, that hasn’t meant much this clay-court season as this year’s Australian Open champions failed to reach a final on the dirt. They could be tested from the first ball against veteran doubles specialist David Marrero and countryman Tommy Robredo.

Kontinen and Peers are slated to meet Cabal and Farah in the round of 16, and if that were to happen, you’d have to like the chances for “Colombian Power.” Cabal and Farah are coming off their fifth final of the season already. Will their legs be fresh enough to make a title run?

Defending champions Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez are also in the top half of the draw, but perhaps the most dangerous team up there would be the fourth seeds, Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo, who have won two Masters titles this year, including Madrid a few weeks ago.

On the bottom half of the draw, the No. 2 seeds, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, are coming off an ATP Masters 1000 title of their own in Rome.

Playing in front of their home crowd, the Frenchmen will look to add to their past US Open and Wimbledon triumphs. But if they succumb to the pressure and come out tight, Nick Kyrgios and Jordan Thompson could be a tricky opener.

The bottom half also features last year’s finalists and two-time French Open champs Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan. Surprisingly, the No. 3 seeds—arguably the greatest doubles combination of all time—have yet to win a title this year. In fact, they haven’t reached a final since the Australian Open in January. You can never count them out, though, until they decide to eventually stop playing.

There could be a seed outside of the top eight emerging as a finalist from this side of the draw. Rohan Bopanna and Pablo Cuevas, the ninth seeds, won in Monte Carlo, while the No. 13 seeds Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi and Florin Mergea took the Barcelona title.

On the women’s side last year, the French fans felt the joy of a local team capturing the title. However, defending champions Kristina Mladenovic and Caroline Garcia announced their split earlier this season. The field is still deep with strong contenders for the title in every section—including some unseeded duos.

Leading the way is Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova. Team Bucie will be going for its third Grand Slam in a row, starting from last year’s US Open. And even though the European clay-court swing hasn’t been to their liking, Roland Garros is a comfort zone for the 2015 champions.

In the round of 16, they could be tested by Mladenovic and her new partner, Svetlana Kuznetsova, a French Open doubles finalist back in 2004.

The favorites, though, to come out of the top half of the draw would have to be Martina Hingis and Yung-Jan Chan. The team, newly partnered in 2017, has been dominant with two major clay-court titles in a row in Madrid and Rome.

Chan saw her winning streak come to a halt in the Nuremberg final, but she’s playing some of the best doubles of her career—right in time for a possible first Grand Slam title.

The fifth seeds, Timea Babos and Andrea Hlavackova, have been on a tear of their own with a win in Rabat, Morocco and a runner-up finish in Madrid.

On the other side of the draw, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina are in the No. 2 spot. The 2013 French Open champions are coming off a second-place finish to Chan and Hingis in Rome. The second-highest seed in the bottom half of the draw is the team of Sania Mirza and Yaroslava Shvedova. However, those two have yet to reach a final since they started playing together regularly this year.

In fact, they could face one of the most dangerous unseeded teams in the draw early on: Barty and Dellacqua, who will be entering the tournament in good form having just won the Strasbourg title.
