Watch everybody collapse to Nadal, he'll barely drop a set, such is the advantage he enjoys on Court Philippe.
Those big servers won't get cheap points, and will be exposed as per usual...
Can Nadal fulfill Manolo Santana's prophecy that he would win 15 Roland Garros titles?
Yes and he'll be back for more in 2025.
Going to be making a new account after this series ends tonight?
Going by this formula of hold + brk % above 115
Only three real contenders are Djokovic Sinner and Alcaraz.
Alexander Zverev is closest fourth but I won't trust him in big match scenarios. But it will depend on the draw now that he safely avoids facing them till semis.
Zverev is thrashed by both Djokovic and Sinner in RG before. But that was long time ago. He has yet to lose to Carlos in grand slams I think.
On other side, tsitsipas has run Djokovic close and beaten sinner in grand slam but he never won vs Alcaraz.
It will depend on the draw as well.
The best thing Sinner has ever done on clay is win 2022 Umag, so he's probably the weakest #2 seed in the history of Roland Garros.
And Djokovic is not winning anything this year.
Have a look at Nadal's 2022 Rome (lost to Diego in straights sets), and what he did at Roland Garros (beat Diego in straight sets and mauled Djokovic 60 62 75).
And the same will happen to Hurkacz... no chance of beating Nadal if they meet at Roland Garros.
