Nadal’s clay court winning percentage in 2022 is the lowest it has been since before he captured his first French Open title in 2005. His injuries and lack of form don’t make him the automatic favorite at this year’s Roland Garros. Djokovic is finally in fine form, but he has drawn Nadal in his quarter and the rapidly ascending Alcaraz in his half of the draw. What will unfold at RG? Can Tsitsipas navigate his easier draw to make the final for the second year in a row? Or will Zverev continue his fine clay court play to make his second grand slam final? One thing’s for sure, this RG seems much more wide open then previous years.
