In the talk show with Eurosport, former world number 2, Alex Corretja posed who is currently the best player for the Roland-Garros. Mats Wilder answered :

” What Carlos Alcaraz has done deserves respect, he has won the two tournaments in the hard court and then won two on the clay court. He will be confident but, his confidence won’t help him much in the Roland-Garros. He would still need to play well from the beginning and have a couple of good matches. Novak Djokovic has the best preparation coming into the Roland-Garros. He won in Rome and a week’s rest will do him good.”

Casper Ruud also talked about his expectations going into the French Open 2022, and he also talks about dealing with the third-round exit in the last season. He said: “I was disappointed after being knocked out by Davidovich Fokina, as it was a big goal of mine to reach the quarterfinals. My father told me that the preparation will pay off in one way or the next week.”

Ruud would also like to enter the French Open 2022 with a title as it would give a massive confidence boost to the young Norwegian as he gears up for a good run at Roland-Garros.
