Roger Federer says he will “miss” seeing Rafael Nadal play at the French Open and that his record there is “one of the most incredible in the history of all sports”. Nadal, 36, has not recovered from injury in time to defend his title in Paris. Ad He is a 14-time champion at the Grand Slam and since making his first appearance there in 2005 has a remarkable 112-3 win-loss record.
Rarely has a player missing a Grand Slam felt like it will leave such a hole in the tournament as it will when Rafael Nadal is absent from the upcoming French Open. Nadal first played the French Open in 2005, winning on his debut as a 19-year-old. He has played the tournament every year since, winning every time except three.
Novak Djokovic’s «champion» mentality and experience can drive him to contend for a third French Open title, reckons Alex Corretja. Djokovic has won Roland-Garros twice and is one of the leading contenders to lift the trophy following the withdrawal of 14-time champion Rafael Nadal. Ad Djokovic has not had the best clay preparation, losing early in Monte Carlo and Bosnia-Herzegovina before withdrawing from Madrid and then making the quarter-finals in Rome.
The French Open airs live on NBC Sports, Peacock and Tennis Channel through championship points at Roland Garros in Paris.
Carlos Alcaraz replaced Novak Djokovic at No. 1 in the ATP rankings on Monday, earning the top seeding at the French Open, and Daniil Medvedev's Italian Open title moved him up to No. 2 ahead of the year's second Grand Slam tournament.

Eurosport's Tim Henman would put Carlos Alcaraz «fractionally ahead» of Novak Djokovic in terms of the favourites to triumph at the 2023 French Open when all the action kicks off at Roland-Garros from May 28. The huge news prior to the tournament getting underway was reigning champion and 'King of Clay' Rafael Nadal withdrawing due to his ongoing injury frustrations. As such, the men's draw will be fascinating with Daniil Medvedev having jumped Djokovic in being the second seed.
It looked like a very big ‘if’. If Daniil Medvedev could win the Italian Open then he could get to world No. 2 and leapfrog Novak Djokovic in the rankings to become the second seed for the French Open.
