Novak Djokovic, who will be 35 years old on the day the tournament starts, Rafael Nadalwho wants to do 36 in Paris on June 3, and Carlos Alcarazthe young sensation of 19 recently celebrated, will use attention to Roland Garros 2022which will begin on Sunday May 22 and end on Sunday June 5.
Serbian is the reigning champion at world number onecombining their options with the capital of France, which is inserted Rome. Manacorí left this Italian city salivation due to severe pain of one left foot with “incurable” injuries since the beginning of his career. Although, his thirteen Musketeers Cup, his balance of the historic king of clay and a surprising condition to bring back the worst situations makes him worthy of being included on the list of top favorites.
The third, according to the record, current world rankings and experience, not current performance and possibilities, is Murcia. He debuted in 2021, surpassing the previous stage then. Twelve months later, the winner of Rio, Miami, Godó and Madridthis last tournament where he defeated Nadal in the quarterfinals and defeated Djokovic in the semis.
The three are located on the same side of the Mutua draw, a situation that could be repeated at Roland Garros, drawn today, Thursday in Paris, at an event scheduled for 7 p.m., except for someone’s last minute drop from the top-4. Whether or not this opportunity happens is the main result of masculine ‘hype’.
The preparation of the tables was relatively quick, with a computer program covering the spaces when the heads of the series had already been distributed. Favorites are distributed according to world ranking by raffling couples 1-2 and 3-4 and groups from 5 to 8, from 9 to 16, from 17 to 32. Next, the unseeded, placed as they appear from top to bottom.
1. DJOKOVIC, NADAL AND ALCARAZ, IN THE SAME PART?
This is a real choice. If the three get to the top of the table, crowned world number one Novak Djokovic, one of the two Spaniards will face the Serbian in the quarterfinals. And the winner will meet another Spaniard in the semifinals. Always speaking to hypotheses, it counts that they play their role as favorites up to that point, without injury, pain or unexpected defeat.
2. RAFA NADAL AND CARLOS ALCARAZ, SEPARATE
The fact that Rafa Nadal fell from fourth to fifth place means he entered the same draw group (from 5th to 8th seed) as Carlos Alcaraz. This could mean advancing his confrontation with Djokovic one round, to the quarterfinals, but also moving away from Murcian, even up to the semifinals.
3. A WORLD BETWEEN DJOKOVIC AND MEDVEDEV
There’s a big difference between going to the top of Novak Djokovic or the bottom, which closes as No. 2 is Russian Daniil Medvedev, who returned two months after surgery for a hernia with a two -set defeat to Richard Gasquet.
4. NOT TSITSIPAS OR ZVEREV: BETTER MEDVEDEV
The German will be the third seed and the Greek, the fourth. Although the forecast puts Tsitsipas as the fourth person, thanks to his status as a finalist in 2021, when he came to dominate Djokovic for two sets. Although Zverev was not far away, the Athenian beat the current student in five sets Sergio Bruguera, which however seems somewhat irregular. One or the other could be Nadal and Alcaraz’s opponents from the quarterfinals, though it would be better if they went through Medvedev’s sector and avoided, above all, Djokovic.
5. RUBLEV AND RUUD, WITH NADAL AND ALCARAZ
Russian Andrey Rublev and Norwegian Casper Ruud will enter the group of 5 to 8 of the Spaniards, where they can only be opponents in the semifinals. Of the four, two will go above the table and the other pair below. In four different rooms.
6. THEIR EIGHTH AGAINST THE PUNCHERS
They will be seeded players from 9 to 16. With the injury of Italian Matteo Berrettini, the sixteenth seed will be Pablo Carreño, the veteran of this lot along with Argentine Diego Schwartzman. Others, young punch: Auger-Aliassime, sinner, Shapovalov, Fritz, Hurkacz as well as southpaw Norrie.
7. THE DANGERS OF THE THIRD SIGN
The top 16 seeds will each meet against a tennis player from the group from 17 to 32 seed. It was inaugurated by the ‘gunboat’ Reilly Opelka, followed by Grigor Dimitrov. There are many dangers, of all kinds: from the strength of Alexander DavidovichSebastian Korda o Myomir Kecmanovic on the tables of Cilic, Isner, Evans, Khachanov or Basilasvhili. And the dangerous ones on a day of inspiration De Miñaur and Tiafoe.
8. NO ENTRY SEEDS
According to the ranking, the most dangerous for the first or second round are Tommy Paul, Jenson Brooksby, Lorenzo Sonego and Cristian Garín. The ‘bones’ are found as Albert RamosDavid Goffin, Alexander Bublik, Aslan Karatsev (if close to 2021), Fabio Fogni, Lorenzo Musetti, Dusan Lajovic, Richard Gasquet, et al. The important thing in these qualifying rounds for the favorites is not to get into too much trouble, leaving the strength they will need later.
9. WAWRINKA AND THIEM
Prior to their foot and wrist injuries, they were power alternatives. Wawrinka was a champion in 2015 and a finalist in 2017. Thiem reached the finals in 2018 and 2019. Two Grand Slam champions looking to return to form. The Swiss showed green shoots in Rome, while the Austrian lost all six games played on his return. This time, they don’t want to face the favorite in the first or second round.
10. SENSITIVE LOWS
The great absentee is still the Swiss Roger Federer for knee injury. At this moment he announced his presence at the Laver Cup and the ATP in Basel. For the local public, Gael Monfils ’drop in the upcoming final edition of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Gilles Simon is remarkable. Neither is the 2016 finalist, Andy Murray, which is more at stake in the grass. As well as Feliciano Lopez, who lost the previous round and will no longer be able to add his 80th consecutive Grand Slam. Another relevant Spanish that cannot compete is Robert Baptist, crippled due to a problem with the right wrist. The top ten Italians Matteo Berrettini He had surgery on one side and preferred to give himself a little time and return to the lawn. The Australian case is different Nick Kyrgioswhat is happening from the ground up.
