Guys predict the Quarterfinal lineup of Roland garros 2022?

[Nadal_King]

So top 8 seeds
1. Djokovic
2. Medvedev
3. Zverev
4. Tsitsipas
5. Nadal
6. Alcaraz
7. Rublev
8. Ruud
Considering how Rg rigged last year draw to have big 3 in same half, I have a feeling they will rig it again to make it even ,so here us my prediction...
Djokovic- Ruud
Zverev- Alcaraz
Tsitsipas- Rublev
Nadal-Medvedev
Give your prediction and let's see what turns out true on Thursday

 

[Nadal_King]

I mean qf lineup as per draw, not final 8

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Nadal vs Djokovic (Nadal wins in 4)
Tsitsipas vs Alcaraz (Alcaraz in 4)
Zverev vs Rublev (Zverev in 3)
Random top50 vs Random top50

 

[StrongRule]

The organizers always put Nadal as close to Djokovic as the ranking allows. They will be in the same 1/4, like in 2015. Especially now when they made the conditions perfect for Djokovic.

 

[StrongRule]

Nadal vs Djokovic (Nadal wins in 4)
Tsitsipas vs Alcaraz (Alcaraz in 4)
Zverev vs Rublev (Zverev in 3)
Random top50 vs Random top50

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Hello strong rule, The biggest Djokovic fan on talk tennis

 

[NeutralFan]

Nadal vs Djokovic (Nadal wins in 4)
Tsitsipas vs Alcaraz (Alcaraz in 4)
Zverev vs Rublev (Zverev in 3)
Random top50 vs Random top50

Hmmm

There could be a Djoko Alcaraz or djoko Nadal QFs.

Medvedev won't reach that far to play Nad.

 

[Rafa4LifeEver]

Hmmm

Mmmh

 

[TripleATeam]

I think the most blockbuster would probably be

Djokovic-Alcaraz
Rublev-Zverev
Tsitsipas-Ruud
Nadal-Medvedev

As that would give them a "high audience" QF in Djokovic v. Alcaraz, and there's no guarantee that Nadal is currently going to be able to last at RG, so booking Medvedev in the QF would be smart. Whoever wins the Djokoraz battle gets a bit of a break in Rublev/Zverev, and the blockbuster SF would be Tsitsipas/Nadal. Then the finals.

What do I think is going to happen? I don't expect a stacked half, so...
Djokovic-Rublev
Ruud-Tsitsipas
Zverev-Alcaraz
Nadal-Medvedev

I think Alcaraz and Nadal will draw each other, but will also draw the easier 1-4 seeds. I think Djokovic and Tsitsipas will draw each other but escape the dangerous 5-8 seeds.

neither will Rublev IMO

 

[ewiewp]

its wide open this year.

its wide open this year.

It isn't. Either Alcaraz or Djokovic. No one else can win.

 

[ewiewp]

It isn't. Either Alcaraz or Djokovic. No one else can win.

Nadal is in bad form and Djokovic is in questionable form this year.
Alcaraz beat sub-par Rafa and Novak. So I don't think Alcaraz is a sure shot, just yet.

Djokovic seems to be healthy though. Nadal is likely not healthy, depending on whether his foot improves.

 

[TennisFan3]

Djokovic seems to be healthy though. Nadal is likely not healthy, depending on whether his foot improves.

Nadal will not be in peak playing condition regardless of whether he plays RG or not. Last time Nadal limped as he did vs Shapo - he didn't play for 6 months. The injury won't go away in 10 days.

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Djokovic-Rublev: Can't see them putting Alcaraz against #1 seed it will likely be either #7 or #8 and he just beat Rudd
Med-Alcaraz: Since Clay not Med's best surface they can sacrifice him without hurting the rest of the draw.
Zverev-Rudd: Zverev will get a major break if this happens.
Tsitsipas-Nadal: Depending on Nadal's condition this might be difficult for Stefanos, but he has but given favorable draws in Rome, Madrid, and Monte Carlo.

I think this is a fair draw opposed to putting Alcaraz in the QF with Novak, Zverev, or Nadal.

So who us Djokovic half , Zverev-ruud or Tsitsipas- Nadal as it makes a huge difference

More likely to be Tsitsipas-Nadal as Novak defeated them last year in RG and I think keeping Alcaraz in opposite draw may give the bigger Final as youth vs older legend. They did that last year having Nadal, Joker, and Fed in the same half of the draw. Stranger things have happened so we just need to wait and see. Last year, the SF draws #1 vs #3 on one side and #2 vs #4 on the other. It can also be #1 vs #4 on one side and #2 vs #3 on the other. In 2019 Wimbledon it was #1 Novak vs #4 K. Anderson in one-half, and #2 Fed vs #3 Nadal on the other side of the draw.

Fabster to win his first slam at age 35. You read it here first.

 

[TennisLurker]

Alcaraz beat sub-par Rafa and Novak. So I don't think Alcaraz is a sure shot, just yet.

Djokovic isn't subpar anymore, he has shaken off the rust

 

[Terenigma]

In no obvious order. I think the players who make the QF will be:

Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Sinner, Zverev, FAA, Cilic, Nadal

 

[dking68]

FAA isn’t making the quarters. I can assure you that

 

[Deleted member 762343]

Medvedev won’t reach the QF.

 

[dking68]

FAA won’t reach the QF

 

[Terenigma]

FAA isn’t making the quarters. I can assure you that

Why not? Medvedev had a string of R1 exits then made the QF. It can happen!

 

[dking68]

Medvedev can baseline, FAA can’t., and relies heavily on his serve

 

[Curtennis]

FAA
Nadal
Djokavic
Zverev
Alcaraz
Tsitsipas
Brooksby - hot take
Medvedev

 

[ghostofMecir]

What is this? You know very well that of Nadal is in the draw that he can and most likely will win. You’re taking the “foot injury” stuff at the end of the Shapo slapping too seriously for obvious reasons.

 

[AgassiSuperSlam11]

Nadal in the 2014 season only won 2 clay titles leading to RG and that was Madrid and Rio early in the year and both times he failed to register even 1 top 10 win in those clay titles and still ended winning RG. Not impossible for Nadal with one day of rest and pain management to come out with another RG trophy but i agree that Alcaraz and Novak should be slight favorite. As others stated the way the draw plays out also can be crucial as I wouldn't want to beat Alcaraz, Nadal, and Novak in a three-match sequence.

 

[Aabye5]

In no obvious order. I think the players who make the QF will be:

Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Sinner, Zverev, FAA, Cilic, Nadal

This, but I have Alcaraz for Cilic

 

[dking68]

In no obvious order. I think the players who make the QF will be:

Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Rublev, Sinner, Zverev, FAA, Cilic, Nadal

I’d replace FAA with Schwartzman/Adf or somebody else and CILIC for Alcaraz

 

[Subway Tennis]

There could be a Djoko Alcaraz or djoko Nadal QFs.

Medvedev won't reach that far to play Nad.

Agree. Still a high likelyhood that Medvedev will not play imo.

 

[platypus50]

What I hope for with the 2022 RG draw (potential QF seedings):
1 Djokovic vs 8 Ruud
4 Tsitsipas vs 7 Rublev
5 Nadal vs 3 Zverev
6 Alcaraz vs 2 Medvedev

What I think will actually be drawn
1 Djokovic vs 6 Alcaraz
4 Tsitsipas vs 7 Rublev
8 Ruud vs 3 Zverev
5 Nadal vs 2 Medvedev

Hopefully Djokovic, Tsitsipas, Nadal and Alcaraz will each be drawn into separate quarters.

 

[ewiewp]

Djokovic seems to be healthy though. Nadal is likely not healthy, depending on whether his foot improves.

Yeah, Djokovic looks much better now even compared to 1st 2 rounds at Rome. I think Alcaraz match really pushed up his form, no?

Also note that clay is very neutralizing surface and it is widely available globally. It's truely open competition.

We are so used to Rafa winning RG regularly but RG is the most open and upset prone slam and only player who won more than 5 times was Borg with only 6 before Rafa.

Don't think it's most upset, most seeds make it far at Rg more than any other slam atleast if we look last few years

Which one of Rublev, Sinner, FAA or Cilic do you have beating Alcaraz lol? None of the others can play him before QF/SF.

Even Rublev can't

I was talking about the entire history but yes it's true that more seeds advance deep last 20 years or so, not just at RG but all slams.

But slam seeds were increased from 16 to 32 some time in last 20 years and rankings become a bit more surface agnostic and thus less upsets in general on all slams.

 

[weakera]

Even Rublev can't

I will say, I do think Sinner is dangerous. Maybe even the most dangerous possible 4R for a top seed. He has not lost to an opponent ranked lower than 13 all year and his last two RG he looked strong until Rafa stomped him which is understandable.

Nadal winning it so many times have made us blind to the fact that clay has RG have been the toughest slam to dominate and even big named clay courter couldn't win it many times.

I predict he draws Alcaraz in 4th rd

 

[Terenigma]

FAA isn’t making the quarters. I can assure you that

He almost did and how about my other predictions? Not bad eh
