In the draw for the men’s draw, the world number 1 can come across tough guys like Tsitsipas (2021 finalist) and Djokovic (double RG champion)
world number 1, Carlos Alcaraz didn’t find life easy in the draw for the male key of Roland Garros. Despite a relatively calm start against a qualifying or lucky-loser, the Spaniard could find other favorites before reaching the final. Standing in their way are names like Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas and Serbian Novak Djokovic.
In the campaign, Alcaraz can only face a seed in the third round: the Canadian Denis Shapovalov. In the round of 16, the British Cameron Norriewho beat him in the final of the Rio Open, and the Italian Lorenzo Musetti, are potential adversaries. On Wednesdays, the situation thickens: Tsitsipas, vice-champion of Roland Garros 2021, is the main candidate. In the semi-final, Djokovic could be his opponent.
