I’m joking. Of course he is among the dark horses, but I have a feeling Thiem might withdraw after getting beaten by another Roflnego in Lyon. I didn’t like his body language in his Rome loss at all.

I think Djokovic deserves 2nd place over Tsitsipas right now, even if his Rome form proves to be false dawn, like in 2011, 15, 18.

Nah he looked much better in Rome than Madrid trust me, Sonego played out of his mind.
Thiem needs match play, and people forget much like Nadal at RG he gets a little boost. His heavy FH takes off the clay better and he can return better as RG is slower and less server friendly.

Basing this only on Rome match vs Nadal: I'd put Shapovalov at good tier.

Shapovalov’s game style is not sustainable over best of 5. Last year he played amazing Rome and then lost in 5 to Carballes Baena at RG.

Dibaego for the title

I know. But against Nadal, it looked at times like he was trying to find the balance between when to go all out and when to stay in the rally... I know it's more wishful thinking than anything else. I really enjoy watching him play, and that match was a treat for me.

Been terrible on clay this season, but you can tell that if Nadal is within 5 matches reach, Schwartzman will be 100% ready to make life hell for Nadal, rofl.Dibaego for the title

Djokovic and Tsitsipas are tied for me. The reason I am saying that is Tsitsipas was a hair away from beating him in Rome and actually made him sweat after going 0-2 last year.

To me the top six is pretty straight forward outside of the fact that I’m putting Thiem there based on his clay potential rather than the way he is playing:
1. Nadal
2. Tsitsipas
3. Zverev
4. Djokovic
5. Rublev
6. Thiem
The final four is certainly flexible and with more clay court tournaments in progress before Roland Garros could certainly shake up:
7. Sinner
8. Schwartzmann
9. Sonego
10. Basilashvili
Honorable mention:
Ruud
Garin
1. Nadal
2. Tsitsipas
3. Zverev
4. Djokovic
5. Rublev
6. Thiem

Here are my French Open power rankings:
The guy on the left has a 98% chance of winning the title and the guy on the right has a 2% chance of winning it. There is a 0% chance for anyone else winning it. And that’s the literal truth.

Agree with all the Top 4
I would move Sinner up to "Good Tier" (he played a solid match against Rafa in Rome and is capable of murdering the ball)
Thiem in "Decent Tier" - never know what kind of form he can pull out at RG
And add Karatsev to the "Dark Horse Tier"

Inspired by Jannik Sinner's wholesome restaurant analogies, I've split up players by their role in the Roland Garros kitchen:
Executive Chef Tier: Nadal
Head Chef Tier: Djokovic
Head Chef Emeritus Tier: Federer, Wawrinka
Sous Chef Tier: Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas
Station Chef Tier: Rublev (butcher), Berrettini (roasts), Ruud (fish), Sinner (legumes), Sonego (sauté)
Commis Tier: Karatsev, Shapovalov, Garin, Schwartzman, Carreño Busta
Porter Tier: Musetti, Alcaraz, Auger-Aliassime, Korda
Server Tier: Opelka, Isner, Raonic (note: Kyrgios was offered this position, but declined it in order to watch the NBA playoffs)
Art and Decor Tier: Medvedev
Executive Chef Tier: Nadal
Head Chef Tier: Djokovic
Head Chef Emeritus Tier: Federer, Wawrinka
Sous Chef Tier: Thiem, Zverev, Tsitsipas
Station Chef Tier: Rublev (butcher), Berrettini (roasts), Ruud (fish), Sinner (legumes), Sonego (sauté)
Commis Tier: Karatsev, Shapovalov, Garin, Schwartzman, Carreño Busta
Porter Tier: Musetti, Alcaraz, Auger-Aliassime, Korda

So basically Thiem is in the top 3 for the things he’s done 2 years ago, right? Hasn’t scored a good clay win since beating Djokovic at RG, and lost to Mager, Schwartzman (BO5), Zverev and Sonego.

He's top-3 IMO because his highest level, if he can reach it again, is the highest non-Nadal level on the tour. So he is a wildcard of sorts, but a dangerous one.

Tsitsipas should above Zverev

I like how you didn’t mention "on clay". Sounds about right.

I do believe Thiem still possesses the second to highest clay level on tour. Whether he can reach it this season is a big question mark obviously.

Best post in the thread.Here are my French Open power rankings:
The guy on the left has a 98% chance of winning the title and the guy on the right has a 2% chance of winning it. There is a 0% chance for anyone else winning it. And that’s the literal truth.
I would put more like 67.5% Nadal and 32.5% Novak. 0% rest of the field.
