Ideas on the Draw

With all of the fanfare surrounding Jannik Sinner as the most effective participant on the planet, you’d be forgiven for forgetting that Novak Djokovic remains to be world primary and enters Monte Carlo as the highest seed.

Monte Carlo hasn’t been one in every of Djokovic’s greatest tournaments, however he’s nonetheless gained it twice. He’ll start towards Roman Safiullin or a qualifier within the second spherical.

Final yr, the Serb got here a cropper to Lorenzo Musetti, and the 2 might face off once more this yr within the third spherical ought to the Italian overcome thirteenth seed Taylor Fritz in his opening spherical and both Arthur Fils or Adrian Mannarino within the second.

Defending champion Andrey Rublev is Novak’s seeded quarter-final opponent. The Russian begins towards the heavy-hitting Alexei Popyrin, which isn’t straightforward. He’ll must up his sport from the Sunshine Double, which yielded only one win.

Djokovic’s Path to the Remaining

Carlos Alcaraz is making simply his second look on the Monte Carlo Nation Membership. He begins towards Felix Auger-Aliassime or a qualifier.

That may have sounded tough a couple of years again, however Felix has been taking retrograde steps since final season.

The Spaniard is seeded to satisfy Dubai champion Ugo Humbert within the third spherical and Casper Ruud within the quarter-finals earlier than a possible showdown with Djokovic.

I feel if Alcaraz performs much less highlight-reel mode tennis and as a substitute mixes in a extra Nadal-like mentality, he’ll have a dominant clay-court swing this summer season and can be capable to shut the hole to Sinner, who’s considerably unproven on la Terre battue.

Alcaraz’s Path to the Remaining

Within the backside half of the draw, Jannik Sinner is the 2nd seed, and he’ll be seeking to proceed his unimaginable season with titles in Melbourne, Rotterdam and Miami which have seen him rack up a 22-1 Win/Loss report.

Sinner’s opening match is towards both 2022 finalist Alejandro Davidovich Fokina or Sebastian Korda. Within the third spherical, he’s slated to satisfy the sixteenth seed, Alexander Bublik, and will probably face final yr’s finalist, Holger Rune, within the quarter-finals.

Rune will start his match towards both Matteo Arnaldi or Emil Ruusuvuori. Each are succesful foes on their day, with Arnaldi notably harmful on the clay.

Sinner’s Path To the Remaining

Daniil Medvedev, the fourth seed, and Alexander Zverev, the fifth seed, might probably face Sinner within the semi-finals.

Within the second spherical, Medvedev will face both Jordan Thompson or the French wildcard, Gael Monfils, whereas Zverev will face Daniel Evans or Sebastian Ofner. Evans could have a troublesome opening spherical, as Ofner has a pedigree on clay and might be the slight favorite.

Stefanos Tsitsipas, a two-time Monte-Carlo champion and the twelfth seed, can be on this half and can begin his match towards Laslo Djere.

Given his latest type and dropping exterior the highest 10, the clay season seems to be make-or-break, so will probably be value watching him intently.
