In the l’Orangerie conference room, a few meters from Philippe Chatrier, the draw for Roland Garros was held. In that green environment, full of tropical plants, the fate of Carlos Alcaraz and of Novak Djokovicthe two great favorites to occupy the eternal throne of Rafael Nadal after the Spaniard announced last week that he will miss the 2023 edition due to his physical problems that he has been dealing with since the Australian Open.
Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic will definitely meet in the semifinals, not the finals because it would have been safe if they hadn’t been eliminated. Daniel Medvedev the second position in the Serbian world in Rome. The upper part is more difficult, the lower part is more open.
This is the Spanish table if they reach the final:
First round: Eligible player
Second round: O’Connell or Daniel Taro
Third Round: Shapovalov
Round of 16: Cameron Norrie or Lorenzo Mussetti
Quarter finals: Tsisipas or Felix Auger-Aliassime
Semifinals: Djokovic or Rublev
Conclusion: Medvedev, Rune or Sinner
The best course theoretically gives Novak Djokovic, who is looking for his third win at Roland Garros:
First round: Kovacevic
Second round: Fucsovics or Grenier
third round: Davidovich or Cecchinato
Round of 16: Hurkacz, Roberto Bautista or Goffin
Quarter finals: Rublev or Kachanov
Semifinals: Carlos Alcaraz or Tsisipas
Conclusion: Medvedev, Ruud or Rune
Gilles Moretto, president of the French Tennis Federation, made reference to Rafael Nadal, who he wants to be remembered for his unparalleled record at Roland Garros: “We hope that next season he can come back,” he said, knowing what the man from Manacor meant, whose idyll in the Musketeers Cup started in 2005, when he won its first edition. Since then, he has lifted the title fourteen times. Paris will miss you.

Carlos Alcaraz (Esp/1)-Cameron Norrie (GBR/14)
