The USATF Indoor Championships, where athletes vie for world indoor championships spots, air live on CNBC, NBCSports.com/live, the NBC Sports app and Peacock on Saturday and Sunday from Spokane, Washington.

In most cases, the top two finishers per event are in line to make the world team, provided they have met the international qualifying standard time or mark. World indoors are in Belgrade, Serbia, from March 18-20.

Meet headliners include individual Olympic gold medalists Ryan Crouser (Tokyo shot put), Katie Nageotte (Tokyo pole vault) and Jeff Henderson (Rio long jump).

Christian Coleman competes at his first national-level meet since his 18-month suspension for missing three drug tests in an 18-month span ended in November. Coleman, the world’s fastest 100m sprinter in the last Olympic cycle, holds the world record in the indoor 60m, 6.34 seconds set at the 2018 USATF Indoor Championships.

That 60m is one of the most anticipated events of the meet. Coleman faces Ronnie Baker, the third-fastest 60m sprinter in history who was also fifth in the Olympic 100m. Fellow Olympians Marvin Bracy and Mike Rodgers are also entered.

The men’s 60m hurdles includes all three Tokyo Olympians in the 110m hurdles — Grant HollowayDevon Allen and Daniel Roberts.

Olympian Elle Purrier St. Pierre, the U.S. indoor mile record holder, is entered in both the 1500m and the 3000m. The 1500m field includes the rest of the Olympic 1500m team — Cory McGee and Heather MacLean.

2023 French Open women’s singles draw, scores

1 Comment

At the French Open, Iga Swiatek of Poland eyes a third title at Roland Garros and a fourth Grand Slam singles crown overall.

The tournament airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through championship points in Paris.

Swiatek, the No. 1 seed from Poland, can join Serena Williams and Justine Henin as the lone women to win three or more French Opens since 2000.

Turning 22 during the tournament, she can become the youngest woman to win three French Opens since Monica Seles in 1992 and the youngest woman to win four Slams overall since Williams in 2002.

But Swiatek is not as dominant as in 2022, when she went 16-0 in the spring clay season during an overall 37-match win streak.

She retired from her most recent match with a right thigh injury last week and said it wasn’t serious. Before that, she lost the final of another clay-court tournament to Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.

Sabalenka, the No. 2 seed, and Elena Rybakina of Kazakhstan, the No. 4 seed and Wimbledon champion, are the top challengers in Paris.

No. 3 Jessica Pegula and No. 6 Coco Gauff, runner-up to Swiatek last year, are the best hopes to become the first American to win a Grand Slam singles title since Sofia Kenin at the 2020 Australian Open. The 11-major drought is the longest for U.S. women since Seles won the 1996 Australian Open.

The French Open men’s singles draw is missing injured 14-time champion Rafael Nadal for the first time since 2004, leaving the Coupe des Mousquetaires ripe for the taking.

The tournament airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through championship points in Paris.

Novak Djokovic is not only bidding for a third crown at Roland Garros, but also to lift a 23rd Grand Slam singles trophy to break his tie with Nadal for the most in men’s history.

But the No. 1 seed is Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who won last year’s U.S. Open to become, at 19, the youngest man to win a major since Nadal’s first French Open title in 2005.

Now Alcaraz looks to become the second-youngest man to win at Roland Garros since 1989, after Nadal of course.

Alcaraz missed the Australian Open in January due to a right leg injury, but since went 30-3 with four titles. Notably, he has not faced Djokovic this year. They could meet in the semifinals.

Russian Daniil Medvedev, who lost in the French Open first round in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, is improved on clay. He won the Italian Open, the last top-level clay event before the French Open, and is the No. 2 seed ahead of Djokovic.

No. 9 Taylor Fritz, No. 12 Frances Tiafoe and No. 16 Tommy Paul are the highest-seeded Americans, all looking to become the first U.S. man to make the French Open quarterfinals since Andre Agassi in 2003. Since then, five different American men combined to make the fourth round on eight occasions.
