The 2020 French Open should have been getting underway this week, with the second of tennis' four Grand Slams originally scheduled to start on Sunday.
However, the pandemic caused by the spread of the coronavirus has pushed Roland Garros back to September, as tennis players and fans patiently await the return of competitive action - which won't be until at least August.
To help fill the void over the next two weeks, we are publishing a range of French Open-related content, including features, galleries, and video highlights - one for each day of the tournament.
Kicking it all off on Day 1 is the ultimate French Open quiz: 20 questions to test your knowledge on all things Roland Garros. After you take the quiz, share it with your friends, compare scores and see who comes out on top...
Good luck!
