French Open 2022 Men s singles forecast & predictions

Carlos Alcaraz goes in as the favorite for Roland Garros 2022 A little over 12 months ago, Carlos Alcaraz had turned 18 - just in time for his maiden participation at the 2021 French Open. Ranked 97th in the world, he blitzed through the qualifiers without dropping a set and made it to the third round. It was beyond question that he had potential. But it was also beyond imagination that he would enter the next edition of the tournament as a favorite for the title. The irrepressible Spaniard recently sent shockwaves through the tennis community by becoming the first player ever to defeat Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic back-to-back on clay. He then backed it up by beating the defending champion Alexander Zverev to become the youngest winner of the Madrid Masters. The teenager has exhibited physicality and maturity beyond his years this season - which has catapulted him to the top of the . However, it remains to be seen how Alcaraz will fare over the best-of-five sets - especially if he faces Nadal or Djokovic in the semifinals. That said, the sport isn't played on paper - and all 128 players in the draw have a shot at the title. Let's delve into the round-by-round tournament forecast for every player in the draw - generated using the aforementioned Elo ratings.

Quarter-wise forecast for French Open 2022

1st quarter

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are on a collision course in the first quarter Novak Djokovic (Elo 2096.2) and Rafael Nadal (Elo 1987.2) have only been stopped by one another in the last two editions of the French Open. The two biggest names have been drawn in the same quarter this year - which makes the matchup all the more probable - 28.95% to be precise. The Serb holds a decisive advantage in the Elo ratings this time around. But no man has ever dominated a tournament like Nadal at Roland Garros. Expect the Spaniard's performance to go up a few notches in Paris - provided he's fit.

2nd quarter

The 2022 Madrid Open finalists headline the second quarter of the draw World No. 3 Alexander Zverev (Elo 2058) is the highest-ranked player in the second quarter. Despite reaching the semifinals or better in all three claycourt Masters tournaments leading up to Paris, he will be the underdog against Carlos Alcaraz (Elo 2124.4) if they meet in the quarterfinals. The 19-year-old recently beat the German in the finals of the Madrid Open for a loss of just four games. While Zverev can be unplayable at times when he brings his A-game, its frequency is questionable - especially over best-of-five sets. The intriguing matchup has a 33.85% chance of happening.

3rd quarter

Stefanos Tsitsipas is the favorite from the third quarter of the draw Stefanos Tsitsipas (Elo 2076.8) has arguably been the greatest benefactor of the draw. His four toughest opponents on paper have all landed in the other half - and the 2021 runner-up will effectively have to go through at most one of them in his quest for the title. Besides that, the Greek has been in sublime form himself - making the semifinals in Madrid, final in Rome and winning the title in Monte-Carlo. His most likely opponent in the quarterfinals will be Casper Ruud (Elo 1961.5), with the matchup being 25.44% probable. The Norwegian, who plays his best tennis on the dirt, has rediscovered his form after a slow start on the European clay swing and has the potential to upset the World No. 4. After early losses in Monte-Carlo and Madrid, the Norwegian hit his stride, reaching the semifinals in Rome and has now reached the final in Geneva.

4th quarter

Jannik Sinner has the highest Elo rating from the 4th quarter Daniil Medvedev (Elo 1928.1) headlines the most open quarter of the draw - at least by ranking. However, clay doesn't suit the gamestyle of the World No. 2. In addition, he is returning from an injury. This automatically diverts attention towards his compatriot Andrey Rublev (Elo 1933.2). But it is Jannik Sinner (Elo 1965.6) who is the most favored to reach the quarterfinals from this section. The 20-year-old has notched up an impressive 80% win-loss record this season. While he has been supremely efficient against lower-ranked players, Sinner has fared poorly against the best. He has registered just one victory over a top-10 player this year - which incidentally came against Rublev himself. There's a 33.51% chance of the pair squaring off in the round-of-16 - which the Italian is favored to win. In the last eight, Sinner's most probable opponent is Medvedev (12.72%).
