Former number four player in the world Greg Rusedski has no doubt that the Alcaraz is the main favorite at Roland Garros this year.
Greg points out that for him it is definitely the young Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
While Novak Djokovic will play in Rome in the coming days, Nadal will miss a very important tournament before the Grand Slam on clay.
“When we talk about this Roland Garros, Nadal has not played any of the previous tournaments, and he is always the favorite for the title. Djokovic is also injured. This has to be Alcaraz’s best chance to take home the trophy, because if one of the two is healthier, anyone in that circle should be able to take home the trophy. However, now, due to the form he is in, Alcaraz has to be the favorite,” says Rusedski.
Rick Maci, the former coach of Serena Williams, points out that the Spanish player is especially strong when playing under pressure.
“Alkaras fulfilled all the requirements and added some more. Remember the mind controls the body and this young man when he is on the field is like a Broadway performer. When you love to play, pressure is your best friend,” Maći said on his Twitter profile.
