Carlos Alcaraz has been the favorite for this entire Grand Slam in hopes of winning his third, but his first on clay, and now that Djokovic is out of the picture, he is more likely to win than ever before.
It’s worth noting that none of the players remaining in the field have won a French Open, but the most seasoned one is the direct benefit of Djokovic’s exit in Casper Ruud, who has been to a pair of French Open finals in the past two years, losing to both Rafael Nadal and last year to Djokovic.
Ruud is into the semifinals where he will face the winner of Alex De Minaur and Alexander Zverev, who play on Wednesday.
On the other side of the bracket, Alcaraz will face against 2021 finalist Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarterfinals, with a matchup against 2024 Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner on the horizon if Alcaraz takes care of business. on Wednesday.
We will have new blood crowned the champion of clay on Sunday with the news that Djokovic is out, and its wide open for anyone to take it.
