Forgive Me Father
Hall of Fame
So, the basis of draws:
In the 3rd round, seeds 1-16 meet/encounter 17-32 (1-8 meets 25-32, 9-16 meets 17-23).
In the 4th round seeds 1-8 meet seeds 9-16 (1-4 meets 13-16, 5-8 meets 9-12).
In the quarterfinal, seeds 1-4 meet seeds 5-8.
In the semifinal, seeds 1-2 meet seeds 2-3.
In the final, first seed meets second seed.
Current standings:
1) Djokovic
2) Zverev (Medvedev won't play RG?)
3) Nadal
4) Tsitsipas
5) Berrettini
6) Ruud
7) Rublev
8) Alcaraz
9) FAA
10) Norrie
11) Sinner
...
meaning in the 4th round, the 5-8 seeds meet 9-13, which opens the possibility of an Alcaraz-Sinner match at that stage.
1-4 are "equal" in the quarterfinal, meaning Alcaraz could fell to Djokovic or Nadal (regardless of if Nadal moves into top 2).
I think RG will largely be decided by where Alcaraz falls to.
If Nadal does not make top 2, and lands in Djokovic's half and has Alcaraz in his quarter, I very much doubt he will be able to pull trough stamina-wise.
Of course the odds are against both of that happening, but it could.
Either way, Alcaraz' placement is eagerly anticipated.
So will be Sinner (9-12 group), Fokina (25-32), Korda and Kecmanovic (25-32!) and Botic (25-32), Musetti probably unseeded (!), Rune probably unseeded (!), Thiem, Fognini, Djere and Fucsovics unseeded.
