ATP WTA GS Roland Garros 5/28-6/11 2023

[JazzNU]

So Hanfmann needs 10 withdrawals to get a direct entry? Sheesh.

[Suliso]

How about Holger Rune's chances of winning RG? Below Alcaraz for sure, but perhaps equal or above everyone else?

How about Holger Rune's chances of winning RG? Below Alcaraz for sure, but perhaps equal or above everyone else?

I was watching the ATP show a few days ago, and they interviewed several of the top players (Tsitsipas, Zverev, Medevev, Rublev, Ruud, Rune, etc) and asked them about who would win RG.
They all said Alcaraz or Nadal (Nadal the most). The sole exception was Rune. He said "me". He has the attitude.

I don't know if he will win it, but I would say you are correct. He loves the surface, and he is obviously playing well. So, in Askor's fashion, Alcaraz with the top chances, and Rune in that very small second tier (Rune, Novak, whomever wins Rome).

Nadal calls a news conference for 4 pm at his academy in Mallorca on Thursday. He will announce his plans for Roland Garros. Some Spanish news outlets reporting that he will withdraw but no confirmation from Nadal

[ti-amie]

[ponchi101]

But he simply is not ready to play 7 best- of- 5 matches.

[ashkor87]

Nadal has withdrawn from RG, says 24 his last year...recovery up to 4 months so maybe he won't play W either, though he didn't say so

[ponchi101]

Plus returning from a hip injury to play on slippery grass would not be recommended. The issues in changing directions put a lot of stress on those hips.
He is thinking RG and Olympic Games in 24. Let's see if he can be competitive.

[ashkor87]

Revised estimates, with Nadal out:
Men
Alcaraz 50%
Djokovic 40%
Rune 5%
Field 5%

Women

Swiatek 55%
Sabalenka 20%
Rybakina 15%
Jabeur 5%
The field 5%

[ponchi101]

Alcaraz 40%. He just lost, on a very similar court, to the #135 player in the world, in comprehensive fashion.
Djokovic 20%. He seems to have an elbow issue, and had Rune not been hurt by a bad line call from the chair umpire and checked out for the 2nd set, that match was done in two.
Rune 15%. MC finalist, Rome SF
Medvedev 10%. He is playing solid tennis on clay.
Rome winner 10%. Because Rome plays so similar to RG. If it is Rune or Medvedev, add this percentage to the one already given.
Field 5%

Swiatek 50% . She pulled from Rome with an injury, and if it is a real injury to a thigh, those don't heal that quickly.
Rybakina 20%. The one player that does not freak out one bit when things are not looking good.
Sabalenka 10%. Sure, did well in Madrid. And then flamed out vs Kenin at Rome.
Ostapenko 10%. She is belting the ball, and they are landing in.
Field 10%. Too many quality players there to count them out so easily: Krejcikova, Sakkari, Pegula, Gauff, Kudermetova, etc.

Krejcikova is coming for you as she has stated she is part of the Big 4.
