 What's going on everybody welcome back to another video and I thought it'd be a good idea to go through some of the players on the ATP that we should be watching out for during the French Open because the French opens only seven days away and it's very exciting to see Some of the players that maybe we don't expect might actually do pretty well this tournament Let's go start with the first player to watch out for the first player obviously is Rafa Nadal He's coming in at number three in the world rankings going into the French open Which when the draw comes out could be a little bit difficult for him because he might have to play Djokovic in the semi-finals He's had the best clay court season out of everybody 14 wins and only two losses Which included two clay court titles those titles being the Rome open and the Barcelona open interesting fact He actually saved match points in both those tournaments to win his best wins on the clay pretty much everybody He's beaten Shapovalov siti passes Vera Rubelev and Djokovic in the Rome finals So Rafa Nadal an obvious one to watch out for during the French open Second player to watch out for is Mateo Baratini Then number nine in the world kind of falling under the radar a little bit with some good clay court form He's got ten wins three losses on the clay court season with one title that title being the Serbia open And don't forget he also made the final of the Madrid open losing to Alexander's where I've been three very close sets And he's got some good wins over good players as well including beating Carrots of Rood and Finini on the clay court So watch out for Baratini as the number nine player in the world next player to watch out for is to find our city pass Number five in the world had a great clay court season I put him as the second best clay quarter on the ATP for 2021 behind Rafa Rafa just gets in with some of the big wins that he's had but since he passed 16 wins three losses more wins than Rafa on the clay court So far this season with two titles as well equaling Rafa's total those titles being at the Leon open last week And of course the Monte Carlo Masters his first Masters 1000 title and his best wins on the clay have been against Rubelev Baratini and Carrots of but also don't forget that he had chances against Djokovic in Rome And also match points against Nadal in Barcelona So since he passed could be number one on the list if he had got those two wins But still second best player going to the French open for me having a look at a player outside the top 10 Casper Rood he's number 16 in the world He'll be going in as the number 16 seed is coming in with a lot of wins as well 15 wins for losses Including the one title that title being at the Geneva open also made the semi-finals of Madrid and Monte Carlo So he's in some great form and he's got some really good wins as well He's beaten Shapovalov Schwartzman and he beat Sidney pass as well So Casper Rood is definitely want to watch out for especially if he gets a good draw and he avoids some of those big guns Next player to watch out for of course Novak Djokovic the world number one hasn't had the best clay court season Only with the seven wins three losses before the Serbia open of course He's playing that currently so he might add to that by the end of this week But he has made the final at the Rome open of course losing in Nadal in that one and also the semi-finals of the Serbia open the first edition of the Serbia open and he's got some good wins He's beaten Sidney pass sinner and Sonny goes so some really good players on the clay during the season And like I said There's a little bit of asterix next to Djokovic because he hasn't finished his clay court preparations yet You might get a title this week at the Serbia open which will give him an extra couple of wins as well We definitely got to watch out for the world number one the final play to watch out for Alexander's Vera the number six in the world kind of like Baratini just kind of sneaking under the radar No one's really talking about him as much as someone like a Sidney pass But he does have the nine wins three losses on the clay courts And of course he got that title of the Madrid open beating Nadal along the way And he also made the quarter-finals of Rome so he's in some form and we know that Zverev is an all-court player He can play on the clay and he's got some really good wins as well beating Baratini, Nadal and Dominic team So definitely got to watch out for him if he gets a good draw Especially if let's say the draw plays out the Nadal's in the top half against Djokovic And Zverev gets the bottom half of the draw where Medvedev will be the second seed So Zverev could get pretty far at the French open if the draw plays out in his favour So there you have it There are six players that I'm looking forward to watching at the French open and some players that probably obvious ones with Nadal and Djokovic Sidney pass but maybe Kasparud, Baratini, Zverev Maybe they're the players that you haven't really thought about because they have been sneaking under the radar And if they do get a good draw semi-finals are definitely up for the taking especially if they're in Medvedev's half Because we know Medvedev isn't the greatest on clay But let me know down in the comments below have I forgotten anyone is there anybody that you're looking out for at the French open as maybe a serious contender of course We've got Dominic team hasn't played enough for me to make him a serious contender this year Let me know down in the comments below Is there somebody that you're really looking forward to at the French open this year? So a lot of players to watch out for at the French open starting next week
