The Favourites to Win the Second Grand Slam of the Year

May 27, 2024

The upcoming edition of the Roland Garros tennis tournament is shaping up to be one of the most exciting in a long time, with all the big favourites showing some doubts in their performance. However, the main focus will be on Rafael Nadal, who is preparing for his final appearance at this event, looking to add another trophy to his impressive record as a champion on the Paris clay.

 

Among the most prominent contenders was the young Carlos Alcaraz emerges as one of the leading contenders to take the title. Despite having yet to win at Roland Garros and dealing with an elbow injury that caused him to withdraw from the Rome Open, his talent and determination put him in prime position according to the pundits.

 

Just behind Alcaraz is Novak Djokovic, the current world number one, who is defending his title as tournament champion. Although still top of the rankings, Djokovic has yet to win a title in 2024, adding an element of uncertainty to his participation.

 

Another name to watch out for is Italy's Jannik Sinner, considered one of the best players of the season. However, he arrives at Roland Garros with an injury, which raises questions about his ability to compete at the highest level.

 

Finally, Alexander Zverev, ranked No. 4 in the world, comes into the second Grand Slam of the season in excellent form. Although he has disappointed on previous occasions when he was considered favourite, many see him as a serious threat this time around.

With so many exciting contenders, the 123rd edition of Roland Garros promises to be a close contest, where skill and determination will play a crucial role. Fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this event, where only the strongest and most prepared will be able to achieve glory on the Paris clay.
