Who are the favorites at the French Open 2022?
There are probably a few favorites for this year's title among the men - probably partly because there is a big question mark behind the physical and mental condition of some top players. Well, Novak Djokovic is still the number one in world tennis and also recently won the Masters tournament in Madrid, but until then the season had not gone according to plan for the Serb. Only time will tell whether Rafael Nadal 's chronically ill foot will hold up. Daniil Medvedev regularly takes himself out of the race on clay. Above all, Alexander Zverev , Stefanos Tsitsipas or even the young Carlos Alcaraz , who could steal the show from the well-known players. One should not expect miracles from comebackers Dominic Thiem and Stan Wawrinka . But hope dies last.
In the case of the women, the chances of winning are mainly concentrated around the currently world's best player, Iga Swiatek . The only 20-year-old Pole is currently rushing from success to success. Difficult to imagine who will beat the champions of Indian Wells, Miami, Stuttgart and Rome. Possibly last year's winner Barbora Krejcikova ? However, the Czech has not played a competitive match since the end of February and is making her comeback at the Bois de Boulogne after a break of almost three months. In the event of a run, Paula Badosa or Maria Sakkari should of course also be included in the list of favourites. Or maybe even a surprise in the form of Emma Raducanu or Simona Halep ?
Who will be absent from Roland Garros in 2022?
The absence of Roger Federer,Kei Nishikori and Nick Kyrgios from the top players has been known for some time. Matteo Berrettini , Roberto Bautista Agut and Gael Monfils all recently withdrew. Jan-Lennard Struff and Dominik Koepfer are missing from a German perspective.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova , who has already declared her entire season over, is missing from the women's side, as are the Ukrainian Elina Svitolina , the Czech Marketa Vondrousova and the American Sofia Kenin .
Where is the French Open on TV and live stream?
