Rafael Nadal will not compete this year Roland Garros, chances are the Muscle Cup will have a new owner. The new generation led by Carlo Alcarat seems ready to conquer it, but for now it lasts Novak Djokovic such predictions can be made on a… theoretical level. Matches on the main board – men’s and women’s – will start tomorrow (28/5). OUR Stefanos Tsitsipas And Maria Sakkari they will be called at noon (around 2 pm) to confirm… the good name they have made on clay courts.

Carlo Alcarat will enter the field as the first racket of the world. The Spaniard has many problems. The most important thing is to “place” your name in the “Coupe des Mousquetaires” and join the “muskets” of the trophy. “It’s something wonderful for me. It’s something I’ve been working on a lot. I’m very happy to be here as No. 1 in the world. Compared to last year, I’m older and better ‘read’ the field,” he said on the official On the event page, the 20-year-old mentioned another dream of his: being on the Olympic courts in Paris and competing with Nadal for an Olympic medal in doubles.

Among the new generation is trophy collector Novak Djokovic. The Serbian is considered the favorite for the title, but his playing status is unknown. Ranked 2nd in the world Daniil Medvedev. Of course, clay is not the most favorite surface of Russians. Rudd and Rooney can also be attributed to the favorites.

Stefanos Tsitsipas tomorrow (around 14.00) will play against the Czech Jiri Vesela, an athlete who will be a surprise if he gives him problems. This year, our tennis player has not beaten anyone from the top ten. Marc Philippoussis is no longer on his coaching team, and the implications of this…divorce will be of particular interest.

“Big Three” on the women’s board

Iga Sviontek knows Paris clay courts well. In the “crown” of success, two pearls of Roland Garros (2020, 2022) stand out. She seems to be determined… to try, but Arina Sobolenko and Elena Rybakina will try to stop her. “Battles against Iga are great fights. Compared to last year, I have improved and I want to win it,” Sabolenko said. At a recent tournament in Rome, Swiatek was injured while playing with Rybakina. “Iga is a strong opponent, but when I play well, everything goes as it should,” said A Russian woman who seems to be creating a tradition in her favor in matches against a tennis player from Poland.Sviontek, Sobolenko and Rybakina can be called the “big three” of the female picture, and Martina Navratilova was the first to call them so.

Between Sobolenko and Rybakina in the world ranking is Jessica Pegula (3rd place). The 29-year-old daughter of billionaires Terry and Kim Pegula, owners of football, hockey, etc. teams, among other things, has no titles in her collection of Grand Slam tournaments.

Maria Sakkari’s chance for a rematch

Maria Sakkari may be a little far from the big three, but she has proven that the ground suits her. In order to better prepare, he decided not to “go down” to the event in Rabat. Tomorrow (around 14.00) our champion will play Karolina Muchova. The Czech Republic beat her in the 2nd round of last year’s French Open, and this year our tennis player will have the opportunity to take … revenge.

As of 2021, Maria Sakkari is in the top 10 of the world rankings, showing her stability. If she manages to overcome the Czech obstacle, then she has the potential to reach the quarterfinals, since at this stage the lottery “put” her in a pair with Pegula, if, of course, the American also passes.
