The 2024 edition of Roland Garros has been presented as the most uncertain in recent times. The irregularity and physical problems of the first classified in the ATP ranking make it difficult to choose a favorite.
This means that every time a tennis player appears in the media they will be asked the big question: ““Which player do you see as your favorite?”.
The crowd bet it safe and chose Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner. This is not the case of Stefanos Tsitsipas, who decided to shoot a three-pointer from the parking lot… and was blindfolded.
“We’re going to see very close games this year. If I had to name a favorite for the title, I would say Alejandro Davidovich Fokina” he guessed.
Due to the reaction of the journalists present, the Greek had to insist. “I’m serious“.
Alejandro Davidovich will debut against the Monegasque Valentin Vacherot, and in the second round he will face Casper Ruud. If he advances to the rounds, the man from Malaga will face Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals and Alexander Zverev, Rafa Nadal or Daniil Medvedev in the semifinals.
Come on, it’s a long and winding road to an end that few see as doable. We will see if Stefanos is right in his prediction.
