Roland-Garros: Lessons from the draw!
Published on May 26, 2023 at 11:50 am
Holder of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis from childhood and I have always loved reading the beautiful stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.
As the Roland-Garros tournament begins this Sunday, the draw, eagerly awaited as always in a Grand Slam, took place on Thursday followingnoon. It’s time for the verdict for the 128 players in the table and in particular the favorites for the title whose courses are scrutinized each time. Precisely, it is now time to delve into these analyzes as it should be…
It’s always an unmissable event that the biggest fans look forward to every time. We now know the tables of Roland-Garros and once once more, the luck of the draw was merciless for some, lenient for others. A look back at the potential route of the big favorites for the 2023 edition. This year, it’s Antoine Dupontthe famous French rugby player who had the honor of drawing the numbers…
Alcaraz, Djokovic and Tsitsipas all together
As it had accustomed us in recent years, the draw delivered a rather unbalanced picture among men. Indeed, in the upper part of the table, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic et Stefanos Tsitsipas will likely fight for a place in the final. The Spaniard might meet the Greek in the quarter-finals before an expected duel with the Serb. It should be noted that other candidates such asAndrey Rublev, Karen KhachanovLorenzo Musetti or encore Félix Auger-Aliassime might play spoilsport in this really busy part of the table.
Medvedev, voie royale?
By recovering the world number 2 spot at Rome, Daniil Medvedev already knew his rank in the table: at the very bottom. The Russian was lucky as he will avoid his main competitors before the final. It will still be necessary to overcome the obstacles of the first rounds before fighting once morest the youth: Jannik Sinner might be on its way to the quarter-finals and Holger Rune et Casper Ruud might compete for a place in the semi-finals once morest him.
French people in difficulty
Once is not custom, the draw was not really lenient with our French… 3 tricolor duels will take place from the first round with the posters Gasquet/bone of beef, Humbert/Mannarino et Cazaux/Moutet. New French number 1, Ugo Humbert was even a forfeit near the seeded status, he who is in very good shape at the moment. If he goes to the third round, he might find there Andrey Rublev. Note thatArthur Son et Luca Van Assche might meet if the two win their first game, but it will be difficult once morest Sniped et Davidovich Fokina. Moreover, the third round might be even more difficult since Novak Djokovic might find himself on their way, he who might already challenge Hugo Grenier in the second round. To note that Gael Monfils is opposed to the young Argentinian earthling Sebastian Baez with potential opposition once morest Holger Rune in case of victory.
