 What's going on everybody welcome back to another draw preview and we have a huge draw preview to go through It's the men's roll-on garros slash the French open draw preview So we've got some big names that are out But we've got some big names that are in some names that we haven't seen for like six months And we've seen a couple of players play last week We'll talk about those guys, but there are some big players also. We have the the US Open champion Dominic team playing so that is going to be fun to talk about him throughout the next two weeks Players that are not playing though. Let's go through that first first Edmund not playing not sure why but he pulled out also Vedasco pulled out last minute again Not sure why Milosh Rayonich is not playing which is strange because he played last week Maybe injured not a hundred percent sure, but you know clays not his real best surface with his big serve Of course Nick Kiraus. He pulled out for the rest of the year and Roger Federer He is not playing because of the knee injury. He had that before Well after the Australian Open before everything kind of shut down so he was probably never going to play this anyway All right, let's go now to the top part of the draw where the number one in the world is Okay, so there you go Novak Djokovic number one seed of course number one in the world just past Pete Samperas as for most consecutive weeks at number one He is number two now and he's chasing that Federer record. He gets your mirror in the first round So a good good start there for Djokovic then the winner of that's going to play against the winner of Barenkus and Dillion Then you've got a qualifier which is still going at the moment qualifier versus Nori The winner of that's going to play the number 29 seed her catch or Sandgren So there's a couple of interesting names there for Djokovic maybe in the third round He played her catch last year at roll on Garros and it was a tight match So maybe her catch can do something again in the third round there Then you got the number 20 seed Garen against Kalshraiber the veteran winner of that's going to play either a qualifier or Umbair who actually beat Medvedev last week in Rome So he's in a little bit of form there Then you got Vesely versus a qualifier the winner of that's going to play either the protected ranking player from Poland Maturak or Maturak Against number 15 seed Hashinov who actually had his best result at a major Here last year when he beat Del Potre to get to the quarterfinals So Hashinov seems to be a little bit, you know, a little bit happy with playing on the on the clay So we'll see if he can do anything. I mean, let's be honest Djokovic Pretty easy part of the draw for him. He should be able to get to the quarterfinals You know, I don't think I don't see any upsets there. Maybe her catch takes a set Garen can be a good clay court player Hashinov of course as well, you know played well here last year But I mean Djokovic has got a pretty easy. Let's be honest Let's go now to the second part of the draw. We've got RBA the number 10 seed up the top against Gaskay So a battle of the veterans there that'll be a lot of fun to see that match circle that one as a first-round match to watch And of course, you got the winner of that is going to play Belash or Yuchiyama So, you know RBA not the best player on clay, but again He has had some good results. He's playing Hamburg at the moment and doing pretty well there So then you got Palo versus Caruso the winner That's going to play either Milman or the semi-finalist of the French. Oh, sorry of the US open number 17 Carino Buster who again is okay on clay, but not amazing especially being a Spaniard You think he'd be amazing on clay, but he's okay. We'll see how he goes. He got Milman in the first round That's a good first round for him. You got Strouff number 30 seed against TFO The winner of that's going to play either a qualifier or fallacy. I don't know Lopez So that is going to be a lot of a lot of fun There Lopez of course one of the oldest players on tour Then you got Harris versus Popperin the winner of that's going to play the Pospisal or the number seven seed Baratini who is Pretty good on clay. I mean he's had good results. He didn't play great at Rome He did lose against Casparut could have easily got to the quarter-final semi-finals, you know played well But he just lost in that in the tiebreaker in the third But you know Baratini maybe put some matches together. Maybe he can make a bit of a run, you know, he's got a pretty good draw I mean RBA Carino Buster Strouff there. They're good on clay, but they're not great. They're not clay court masters So, you know Baratini has a pretty good draw Maybe he can get through this and get to the quarter-finals against possibly Djokovic So we'll keep an eye on Baratini Next part of the draw number four seed up the top Medvedev He's got he's got foot you've itch in the first round Which is not an easy opponent foot you've itch is a good all-round player or court player and You know, he can he can probably you know, maybe cause an upset there So watch out for Medvedev who didn't play amazing the last two weeks or so the last week in Hamburg Lost pretty early. So foot you've itch danger match for Medvedev We know that's gonna play the Manorino or Ramos for Noles So again doesn't get any easier for for Medvedev there Then you got Hallis the the wild card from France against Giron The winner that's gonna play the Montero or number 31 seed Basilash really who is a pretty good clay court player So that'd be a fun first round but Medvedev again not easy for him Livage number 22 seed against Major winner. That's gonna play that Jera or Kevin Anderson who? Not the greatest clay court player. It's not his game style that suits the courts You know, he's got the big serve, but hey, you know, he's still on the comeback Let's see how he can progress, you know, he puts a couple of matches together. Maybe something can happen Then you got Mayotte versus Fakina winner That's gonna play the Sam query or number 13 seed Rubelev So Medvedev versus Rubelev fourth round if they get there I mean, there's no guarantee that Medvedev or Rubelev get to the fourth round Especially considering they're not the not the best clay court players in the world They play in the fourth round That'll be a replay of what we saw in at the US open a couple weeks ago So that'd be fun to see those guys playing on a different surface I think Rubelev has a better chance on clay against Medvedev than he did a couple weeks ago Let's go now to the next part of the draw to wrap up the top half You got Shapa Valov the number nine seed the number nine seed He is officially he hit the top 10 last week He's just dropped out, but he is in the top 10 of the seedings He versus Simone in the first round not a great first round for him Pretty tough, especially if there's a crowd involved, you know, they get it. They're gonna go for their player So watch out there for Shapo versus Simone. It's a good match, but danger match for Shapo winner That's gonna play the Johnson or Bayena the next round is gonna be the next match Sorry, he's gonna be Martin versus Soza the winner of that's gonna play either Barre or the number 18 seed Dmitrov Who again Dmitrov's a good all-round player, but on clay. It's not he's not his best surface So we'll have to wait and see what happens there because Shapo Valov versus Dmitrov is an interesting third round But I don't know if we get that match because there's a lot of good clay court plays around them Cryanovich number 26 seed against a qualifier first round good stuff for him the winner of that's gonna play either Rinter neck ring Rinder neck. Hope we pronounce that one right against Bidini So that's gonna be a tough one there Cryanovich is a good clay court player though Quavos number Unceded he versus a qualifier first round good clay court player Quavos We know that the winner of that's gonna play the Munnair who's a great clay court player or Number five sees Sidney pass so Sidney pass has a tough start against a good clay quarter Potentially against Quavos second round. He did beat Quavos last week So that'll help his confidence, but then Cryanovich in the third round That's not easy for for Steph So can he get through those can he get to the quarterfinals? Can he get out of this section? I have to wait and see I mean, I There's a couple of danger matches there for Steph. Let's go to the next part This is the top of the second half of the draw the bottom section of the draw the bottom half of the draw You got number eight seed mon feast against boob like first round fun entertaining match could be five sets could be Tweeners and behind the back shots and no look winners. I mean that could be a crazy match Both players like to play You know play very entertaining if there's a crowd you can you know, there's gonna be craziness The winner that's gonna play the Sony go or a qualifier Then you got Thompson against Albert the winner of that's gonna play either a qualifier or number 27 seed fritz So that's a good start for fritz not a great clay court player, but can put some matches together He's in a pretty good section there Then you got number 24 seed Shorich against gombus winner that's gonna play either a qualifier or shadi the local the veteran we know shadi He's a he plays well in France So tough match there for charge in the second round if he gets there qualify versus mutae in the first round mutae is a great player To watch as well very interesting player very very fun to watch just bought out a song with Shapovalov So go check that out The winner that's gonna play either catch men of it who's in a little bit of form on clay or Diego Schwartzman The number 12 said who just beat Rafa last week So that is a fun first round catch men of itch one kids pool a couple of weeks ago Schwartzman beat Rafa a couple of weeks ago Who knows who knows what's gonna happen on that one Schwartzman in form, but so isn't catch men of itch So that is a huge first round match You know, I don't know who gets out of this one. You know, you could be Schwartzman could mon fees could Chorich who knows unseated play could get through this part of the draw. You'd say Schwartzman on form But he's got a tough first round that is a not that is a very tough first round Next part of the draw. Now, this is probably my favorite first round match My favorite first round match 16 seed Stan Vavrenka is up against wild card Andy Murray We've got champ versus champ. We've got multiple champions because they've got a couple of Grand Slam's a piece We don't see that very often We only see that in the semi finals finals when we get Federer Djokovic Federer Nadal We don't get the first round against multiple Grand Slam champions on the men's and we get it in the first round here Stan versus Murray, I'm gonna say that Stan wins that one because Murray on clay It's gonna be very hard on the body But who knows that is a huge first round match winner That's gonna play the cop for all hang in the second round Then you got Gaston versus Javier, which is a wild card battle between the Frenchman winner That's gonna either play Nishioca or the number 19 seed. Oh, yeah, Elias seem who Started his career really well on clay and that's where he kind of made a name for himself So let's see if you can do well at the French open here I then you got Rood the number 28 seed who's we know is in form against Segida in the first round winner That's gonna either play Duckworth or Paul Then you got Opelka versus a qualifier first round and another battle of the champions The winner of quality the winner of a qualifier versus Opelka is gonna play the Marin Chilich or number three seed Dominic team we've got us open champions up against each other and how great is that to say that we have a us Open champion Dominic team playing in this one and I just love The fact that we've got more champions to talk about this is a stacked a stacked part of the draw You're a couple of young players. Oh, yeah, you seem rude. We know a good on clay, but then you got the champs You've got Chilich. You've got Murray. You've got Vavrinca and now you've got team. I'll tell you what team is not gonna Easy draw. This is not an easy draw. He's gonna have to beat Opelka's, you know a good serve But you know who knows what could happen there and then Rood in the third round is in form and then Vavrinca Maybe in the in the fourth round. I mean that is a huge battle to get out of that one team But if he gets out of it, you know, maybe put him in the semi-finals because he should be a favorite there Let's get now to the next part of the draw. We've got the finalist of the US Open at number six seed Alexander's very we haven't seen since the US Open he versus Novak in the first round Dennis Novak The winner of that's gonna play either her bear or a qualifier So a good start there for Sasha del bonus versus Laudero is the next round there of the next play the next match there Sorry winner that's gonna play there a qualifier or number 25 seed demon or so we know demon the demon can play well on clay Him versus Sasha in the third round. Maybe a five-setter. Keep that in mind But he has to get through his first rounds. Then you got pair the number 23 seed against Kwan winner That's gonna play there a qualifier or Korea in the second round. Then you got a qualifier versus use Rusevary Rusevary, I hope I pronounced that one right winner of that match is gonna play another blockbuster first-round match between youngster Sinner and number 11 seed Goffin that could be five sets Sinner Very much talked about very much pumped up and Goffin is a veteran on the clay So we're keeping on that match But I tell you what Sasha has a very good draw if he can get out of this part of the draw makes the quarter finals He's gonna have to play a tough opponent there But he could get out of this part of the draw and make another quarter final here at the French All right last part of the draw We have kukushkin versus finnini the number 14 seed in the first round now finnini is coming back from double ankle ankle surgery He's been a little bit out of form, but he hasn't played that much and he also probably hasn't trained that much So he's got a tough first round against kukushkin But you know let's give finnini a little bit of slack because he is still on the comeback The second round is gonna be a qualifier no matter what happens because there's two qualifiers playing So finnini if he does get through the first round, that's a pretty good second round Then you got seppi versus a qualifier the winner of that's gonna play either a bench or trit or the number 21 seed is now So is now we know he's not you know, he's a big serve, but clay court's not his best So finnini has a good little draw there if he can get through the first couple of rounds Then you got another blockbuster first-round match 32 seed Evans versus Nishikori who's on the comeback unseated bit dangerous We'll keep an eye on Nishikori the winner of that's gonna play either Travaglia or Anduha a couple of good clay court players Then you got a qualifier versus McDonald and the winner of that is gonna play the jurissimov or the number two seed Rafa Nadal who we haven't seen Well, we haven't watched on this channel for at least six months. He played Rome last week He of course lost to Schwarzman who played amazing in that Rome Rome match. They played but Rafa's back. He's the defending champ. It's his tournament. It's his tournament and interestingly enough He has Dominic team in his half of the draw. So if they do play it's gonna be in a semi-final this year Not the final like it was the last couple of years So that's why I said Djokovic has got a pretty good draw because he doesn't have to play Anyone really until maybe Medvedev not great at not great on clay and also maybe you know Maybe city pass as well who I think is on the same half so Rafa he's got a good draw until you know He's gonna play a couple of hard players quarter-finals semi-finals, especially team with the confidence of the French open I'm sorry of the US Open. That's gonna be a tough one for Rafa I think semi-finals team versus Rafa could be a bit of an upset I know a lot of people think that Rafa is unbeatable on clay But I think team gets you know has got some confidence behind him get him in the semi-finals But then again team has a really tough draw as well to get to that stage Will he make it that far who knows and then of course Djokovic I think Djokovic has got the easier draw now Nadal's got a pretty good draw Until maybe the fourth round quarter-finals and then things get a little bit interesting But I see I don't see Djokovic losing before the semi-finals to be honest And then of course Dominic team full of confidence.
