Tennis: French Open 2022
- Thread starter Tuggy
- Start date
Nadal still planning to play despite his foot. Djokovic enters as the favorite I would think. He barely broke a sweat in Rome.
We'll see what Alcaraz has in store...
Swiatek is the overwhelming favorite on the Women's side until proven otherwise. 5 straight titles and 28 match winning streak.

I've got Djokovic turning it up for the next 4 majors winning one of French/Wimbledon, getting his US open which he tends to every 3 or 4 years, and then capping it off with the FU Australian.
Pavel Buchnevich
Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Alcaraz, Djokovic, or Nadal. It'll be one of those three.
And Świątek will win. Who could beat her right now?

Marino is the only Canadian in qualifying. She won her first round match this morning.
She just missed out on direct entry.

The thing with Alcaraz why I think he’ll win slams quicker than people think is that he’s shown a pretty good propensity at a young age to be able to win long matches and come from behind. He’s more fit than someone like Zverev, who seemed to wilt a lot in important long matches when he had similar hype at a young age. I don’t see any problems with him being able to win three sets as opposed to two.
May not be his tournament, but I think he will pick one of these slams off pretty soon.

I've got a number of futures on the betting market on both Swiatek and Alcaraz. Been following tennis for almost 30 years and this truly feels like a changing of the guard on both sides, so I'm fairly confident that
1) At least one of them will win the French Open this year, and
2) At least one of them will win one of the US Open this year or the Australian Open next year

Especially given Swiatek's dominance, wouldn't the bolder prediction be that neither will be crowned champion in the designated Slams? I can't imagine Iga not winning one of those at least.
Rafa has the draw from hell, so much so you would think somebody deliberately stacked it. Final five rounds:
Fognini
FAA
Djokovic
Alcaraz/zverev
Tsitsipas (who is a happy man tonight)
Most interesting first round match: Shapo versus Rune.

Marino cruised through qualifying. Didn't drop a set and only lost 12 games in 3 matches. We'll see where she lands in the draw, but good for her.
Her first French Open main draw appearance since she made the 3rd round in 2011.
Felix will open with a qualifier.
Shapovalov gets Rune...given his form, I don't like Shapovalov's chances. Might be worth it to throw some money down on Rune. Should have good odds.
Andresscu will start with a qualifier.
Fernandez gets the local favorite Mladenovic. Could be a tough crowd for her.
Yeah, it'd be hard to pick a tougher draw than that. I don't see him winning this tournament.

MI retired Nick Saban
in-form 27th seed Amanda Anisimova
Swiatek's draw is pretty friggin hard. Obviously she may luck out and Halep or Ostapenko could both go down before R4 but TBH her likely R3-R4-QF opponents are all damn hard. I feel 100$ on Jabeur Sakkari and Anisimova has huge payout potential because if Swiatek does not win it I believe one of them does and with those odds putting down a total of 300 pays off massively if one of them wins
They are trying badly to force the USO's hand. Personally I feel due to election consequences in the states from heavily conservative voting Russian Americans they are not going to touch this. But I could be wrong. I would be shocked if they did if the ATP/WTA did not do the same again and let the AO ultimately call their bluff in January
Big upset already with Jabeur going out.
Felix up next. Looking to get out of the first round for the first time. He's only played the main draw at Roland Garros twice, 0-2. He's made at least the QF in every other major.

Rebecca's lost 7-5, 6-0 to Gauff. Leylah took the first set 6-0 off Mladovic
Didn't see it, but noticed Kanepi is up to her usual Grand Slam shenanigans knocking off Muguruza in the first round. I bet in GSs players pull their hair out it when they see her in their draw.
