Rafael nadal to face Thiem in the Semifinals. 

A record 12 time French open champion Rafael Nadal is trying to equalize Swiss great roger feadrer's record of winning 20 grand slams in men's singles.  He will start his hunt against gerasimov in the 1st round

But it will be a very difficult job for this Spaniard   because he is going to face Present us open champion domanic thiem in the semi-finals as both are in the bottom half of the draw. 



Also rafa doesn't  had a great clay court season as he lost to Diego swaztaman in the quarter finals of Rome masters. 

At the same time domanic thiem who is a  2 time finalist here  is looking forward to win his first clay court slam . But he is also facing the same problem .
He'll start his French open campaign against Former US open champion Marin cilic. Also domi    is predicted to play against 6th seed Sacha zverev in the quarter final .
So he need to fight harder from the first match itself. 

Can NOVAK DJOKOVIC Win his 2nd Roland-Garros .

Ok ... Now let us pay our attention towards World no.1 Novak Djokovic who is  unbeaten this season He has conquered every tournament he played execpt the US Open , where he has been Departed due to hitting a line women  unexpectedly.
As known he is trying to break roger's another record of most weeks as no.1 ,   he need to be the champion at Roland gaross.  He will play against Ymer of Sweden in the first round. 


Daniil medvedev  , stefanos tsitsipas & Alexander zverev's Draw and Predictions. 

Fourth seed and us open semifinalist Daniil medvedev dosen't had a great clay court season this year as he  lost to U Humbert in the first round of German open.  So , he just played 1 clay court match before Roland garros as he hasn't participated in rome masters.   He'll face fuscovic in the round one . 
5th seed stefanos tsitsipas who lost in the 3rd round of us open and 1st round of rome masters is presently doing well in German open . He will play back to back matches as he is in the final 4 if German open. He will start his campaign against j munar .




6th seed and us open finalist Alexander zverev will face Dennis Novak in the 1st round. No doubt that he can reach the quarter finals easily.  But his test starts from there as there are domanic thiem  , rafa in the competition. 

1sr Round Faceoff Between 2 Grand slam champions. 


Now let us keep it all  aside. There is no Doubt that The notable match of the 1st round is in between 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka and 2016 finalist Andy murray . The last match between these are in the Antwerp finals where Andy murray won by an awesome comeback.  The last time they met on clay is on 2017 French open semifinals. It is an epic match on clay where stan won in a 5 set thriller. This match is very challenging for Andy, who hasn't play on clay after 2017 due to career saving hip resurfacing surgery .

Comming to their H2H , Andy leads with 9 - 5 . But on Clay , Dominantly Stan Wawrinka is leading  with 4 - 1 . Also on Clay,  stan Wawrinka has  4th Highest victories . 
Also , Andy murray hasn't have a great clay court record and in addition to this he hasn't played on clay since 2017 roland garros semifinals.  

So , it's likely to be a Wawrinka's day but Andy is not going to give it so easily.
