Roland Garros 2023 It is presented as one of the best tournaments of the season, in which the first battle of the year between the two great tennis dominators in recent months can take place. It goes without saying that the Parisian event is greatly diminished by the absence due to injury of its great king, Rafa Nadal, who announced a temporary withdrawal when he saw that he could not play in Paris, but they will meet in the French capital Novak Djokovic and a Carlos Alcaraz that he might have to face a last-minute trap, precisely related to Nole.
The latest ranking update ATP leaves Novak Djokovic as number three in the classification, a position that was unexpected at this point and that causes a fall from number one, after being surpassed by Carlos alcarazwho as it was already known, would dress as a leader whatever he did in the Rome Masters 1000 –He fell in the third round against Marozsan–. However, Djokovic lost another position in favor of the big surprise of the tournament, a Daniil Medvedev who found his first big title on clay after years and years hating a surface that is beginning to pay off.
The third place of Novak Djokovic in the ATP ranking affects and a lot in the face of the draw for the box Roland Garroswhich will take place on Thursday from 2:00 p.m. at the facilities of the Parisian Grand Slam. Djokovic y alcaraz They have gone from being the one and the two and, therefore, being exempt from a direct duel until the final, until they can do it in the semifinals, since the first seed, in this case Carlitoshe could have a potential match with the three or the four in the semifinals, so he has a 50% chance that Nole will go on his side of the box.
In addition, another great candidate for the title at Roland Garros, Stefanos Tsitsipashas been seeded fifth, which means that there are options that it could be up to alcaraz in the quarterfinals. It sounds complicated and the percentage is lower, but it already happened in the Masters 1000 in Rome, although the premature elimination of Carlitos prevented the duel between the two. Holger Runecurrent finalist in Monte Carlo and Rome, will be the other rival to avoid in the quarterfinals, with Sinner and Rublev as other potential rivals of notable toughness.
Everyone was waiting for the final between Novak Djokovic y Carlos Alcaraz at Philippe Chatrier, once the resignation of Rafael Nadalbut the draw for the final table of Roland Garros It could leave the parish without the desired match for the title, days before the start of the tournament. For alcaraz It could be one more trap on his way to the most desired tournament, in which he wants to succeed his compatriot, idol and teammate Rafa Nadal and be crowned prince in Paris.
