On Sunday the curtain opens 2023 edition of Roland Garros and the fight begins to meet the new monarch of the most important tournament on the calendar on brick dust. without the presence of Rafael Nadal14-time winner and defending champion, several are those who aim to keep the cup: from number 1 Carlos Alcaraz; a Novak Djokovic that he will seek his third consecration; or a Daniel Medvedev with the impulse of having won Rome.

Initially, the upper part of the table appears as the one with the strongest names. Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic would be projected to face each other in the semifinals, but on the way they could have some stones that could cause difficulty. The Spanish could face Cameron Norrie in the round of 16, recalling that the British man beat him in the ATP 500 final in Rio on this surface, and in the quarterfinals against Stefanos Tsitsipas.

While the Serbian has a Alexander Davidovich as a possible rival in the third round, the Spaniard already knowing how to beat him on this surface (he did it last year in Monte Carlo), in the round of 16 Hubert Hurkacz and in the quarterfinals against a Russian: Karen Khachanov or Andrey Rublev.

At the bottom, meanwhile, everything seems a bit clearer for both Holger Rune as for Daniel Medvedev, the hypothetical candidates to be in the semifinals. Perhaps his main obstacle from the Danish would appear until the fourth round being Taylor Fritz or Francisco Cerúndolo; while in the quarterfinals he would be projected with Casper Ruudwhom he has just beaten on the way to the final in Rome.

Medvedev, meanwhile, would seem to have no major rivals until the quarterfinals: Yoshihito Nishioka would be his opponent in the third round, and Borna Coric or Alex de Minaur in eighths, although in this sector is Dominic Thiem who already knows what it is to reach the final of Roland Garros, but without the best present on his back. In the quarterfinals he could see Jannik Sinner, Grigor Dimitrov or Alexander Zverev.
