Wimbledon 2013 champion, Marion Bartoli, shared her perspective on the prospects of the leading players in the men`s singles draw at the French Open.
According to Bartoli, among the top eight seeded players at Roland Garros – Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper, Novak Djokovic, Casper Ruud, and Lorenzo Musetti – the only one she believes might not reach the quarter-finals is Taylor Fritz. She stated, “One thing is for sure: if you take the Top 8 seeds at Roland Garros – Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, Fritz, Draper, Djokovic, Ruud, and Musetti – the only one who might not reach the quarter-finals is Fritz. I don`t see how any of the others, with their current abilities, could fail to make the quarter-finals.” Bartoli added that beyond this top group, there are still many other strong players, without even mentioning names like Francisco Cerundolo, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Holger Rune, Tommy Paul, and a host of others.
