World number one Novak Djokovic shared his expectations from the upcoming Roland Garros, naming the main favorites.
RMC Sport quotes Djokovic as saying:
Casper Ruud is surely one of the five players who are candidates to win. You have Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Stefanos Tsitsipas -- all the players who won a major tournament on this surface this year. After that, maybe me, if I feel good, if I play well. At Roland-Garros, and all the Grand Slams, I am a bit of a different player.
He also stated that for him Rafael Nadal always remains the main favorite of the tournament. Djokovic acknowledged that the Spaniard's level of play has changed now, but emphasized that Roland Garros and Nadal are a special combination.
The French Open 2024 will be held in Paris. The main draw matches will start on May 26 and last until June 9.
