Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev get into position
The clay court specialist gets competition from world number one Novak Djokovic, who had to admit defeat in Rome, but is already in the starting blocks for Paris. Another one who could thwart Nadal’s tournament bill, is Alexander Zverev, who is also distinguished by his triumph played in Madrid in the circle of the French Open favorites.
There struck the German in the quarterfinals Nadal 6: 4 and 6: 4, then he cooked the Austrian Dominic Thiem and won the final against the Italiener Matteo Berrettini despite some start-up problems with 6:7 (8:10), 6:4, 6:3.
The women are currently much less dull. The world number one Ashleigh Barty injured himself in Rom on the right arm and had to face the American Cori in the quarterfinals Gauff give up despite a guided tour. The Australian’s participation in Paris is questionable, all the more bitter for her after winning the 2019 tournament.

Pliskova scored in the entire first set only four Points. Swind is now as number ten in the world set and should start with a lot of self-confidence and motivation in round one of Paris.
