Ideas on the Draw

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

Monte Carlo hasn’t been one among Djokovic’s finest tournaments, however he’s nonetheless received it twice. He’ll start in opposition to Roman Safiullin or a qualifier within the second spherical.

Final 12 months, the Serb got here a cropper to Lorenzo Musetti, and the 2 might face off once more this 12 months 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 in opposition to 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 Last

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

That may have sounded difficult 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 believe if Alcaraz performs much less highlight-reel mode tennis and as an alternative 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 Last

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

Sinner’s opening match is in opposition to 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 doubtlessly face final 12 months’s finalist, Holger Rune, within the quarter-finals.

Rune will start his event in opposition to 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 Last

Daniil Medvedev, the fourth seed, and Alexander Zverev, the fifth seed, might doubtlessly 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 may 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 also be on this half and can begin his event in opposition to Laslo Djere.

Given his latest type and dropping exterior the highest 10, the clay season appears make-or-break, so it will likely be price watching him carefully.
