Rafael Nadal's defensive play is legendary, and the Spaniard demonstrated why once more during his first-round match against Jordan Thompson at the 2022 French Open. The 21-time Grand Slam singles champion, who has a staggering 13 titles at Roland-Garros to his name, was in imperious form on Court Philippe Chatrier on Monday as he wore down the Australian time and again.
Goran Ivanisevic has surprisingly backed the «incredible» Rafael Nadal as the French Open favourite over his charge Novak Djokovic. World No. 1 Djokovic could be set to face his great rival in the quarter-finals in what is a very lopsided men's draw at Roland-Garros with rising Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz also in that half of the bracket and a potential opponent in the semi-finals.
Eurosport expert John McEnroe has described Carlos Alcaraz as «incredible» and spoken about Rafael Nadal's chances at the 2022 French Open. The tennis legend gave his thoughts on the rising star Alcaraz after his impressive straight-sets victory on day one at Roland-Garros, dispatching Argentine Juan Ignacio Londero, 6-4 6-2 6-0, to progress to the second round.
Novak Djokovic's coach has insisted Rafa Nadal is favourite to win the French Open. But Goran Ivanisevic has claimed it will be better to face the Spanish superstar in a blockbuster quarter-final than in the Roland Garros final.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic and 13-time French Open winner Rafael Nadal start their Roland Garros campaigns on a star-studded Monday, while women's favourite Iga Swiatek begins her quest for a second title in three attempts.
Top-six stars Alexander Zverev and Carlos Alcaraz opened their French Open campaigns with victories but former finalist Dominic Thiem bowed out in round one, while there were two big shocks in the women’s draw.
Teenage Spanish star Carlos Alcaraz said the best part about being touted as the future of Grand Slam tennis was that he is realising a "dream that is not for everyone". The 19-year-old defeated Argentine lucky loser Juan Ignacio Londero 6-4, 6-2, 6-0 to advance to the second round of the French Open on Sunday. Bidding to become just the eighth teenager to capture a major men's title, he is tipped to end the dominance of 13-time Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal and two-time winner Novak Djokovic.
