 What's going on everybody welcome back to another video and we continue our series the road to the title for the French open And we're gonna have a look at Safan on since he passed who's been given a very favorable draw not having to play against the likes of Djokovic and Nadal until the final so let's go have a look at his potential opponents for the French open for 2021 So since he passed he starts his first round off against Jeremy Shadi Who is a very tricky first-round opponent, but since he passed does have a 2-1 head-to-head record over Shadi But it will be the first time they've ever played on clay So might be a little bit of a test for Sidney Pass in his first match His second round matchup is most likely going to be against Sebastian Korda a player that he's never played before But we know Korda has been playing very well over the last couple of months But you'd expect that Sidney pass will have too much experience and get the win on the clay Sidney passes third round opponent is likely to be the 31st seed John Isner and these two have played five times before With Sidney pass leading the head-to-head three two so it's a very close head-to-head and they've never played on a clay court So if they do meet it will be the first time that they've ever played on a clay court But Sidney passes won their last three matches including Acapulco a little bit earlier this year So you'd expect Sidney pass should get the win over Isner going into the fourth round now There are two potential opponents for Sidney pass the most likely being the 12th seed Corino Buster and Sidney passes played Corino Buster twice before winning both those matches with one of those matches being a clay court Match back in 2018 in Barcelona So Sidney pass also has the win on clay So you'd expect him to get through Corino Buster or he could actually face the number 17 seed Rionic in the fourth round and Rionic has a 2-0 record over Sidney pass But both of those are on hard court So if Sidney pass did play Rionic in the fourth round You would definitely give the win to Sidney pass heading into the quarterfinals now in their two big names that Sidney pass is gonna Have to watch out for the most likely being number 22 seed Christian Garen who's been informed this year And he is a great clay court player They have played the twice before both matches on clay with Sidney pass winning them both including a match in Monte Carlo Only a couple of months ago So Steph will have the confidence against a guy like Garen, but I don't expect it to be easy The other opponent could be the 32nd seed Opelka who's proven that he can play on the clay and Sidney passes only ever played Opelka the one time before Getting the win through a retirement halfway through the match from Opelka So if Steph does play Opelka, he'll be liking his chances Especially at the French Open the semi-finals are where things get really really tough because there are three players Potentially in the way of Sidney pass making the final first one being Dominic team the number four seed team has a five three head-to-head Record against Sidney pass, but their clay court matches have been split one one So if they do play in the semi-finals, it'll be a very even match and based on 2021 form I like Sidney passes chances the next roadblock potentially for Sidney passes first Grand Slam final is Alexander Zverev Sidney passes a five two record over Zverev also winning their only match They've ever played on clay so Sidney pass against Zverev on clay He will be the favorite and the third player that potentially Sidney pass might have to face in the semi-finals is the 15 seed Casper Rood and these two actually played a couple of weeks ago in Madrid with Rood getting the straight sets wins So interestingly enough Rood might be the toughest opponent for Sidney pass if he gets to the semi-finals Even those very of a team a fellow top ten players with Sidney pass So Sidney pass will probably want to avoid Rood based on their head-to-head recently going to the final now And if Sidney pass does make the final there are two players He is most likely to play Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic so big big names Let's start with the number three seed Rafa So he does have to play Nadal Nadal has a 7-2 record against Sidney pass But they did play a couple of weeks ago in Barcelona and Sidney pass had chances to win that match He actually had match points against Nadal Nadal end up getting the win So Sidney pass will like his chances against Rafa even though it'd be a best of five set match on the clay courts If you want to face Novak Djokovic in the final of the French Open Djokovic has a 5-2 head-to-head record against Sidney pass and a 3-0 record for Novak on clay Including a couple weeks ago but Sidney pass did have his chances in that match So again, he'll be liking his chances against Djokovic in that final And remember last year at the French Open they played in the semi-finals and it went five sets With Djokovic getting the fifth set after Sidney pass started a tyre So it'd be interesting to see if they do play in the final how fast Sidney pass has come since their match about six months ago So there it is. That is the projected road to the title for Safano Sidney pass Let me know down the comments below. How far can he go? I think he can make the final He's been playing great tennis on the clay in 2021. He's been the best player in 2021 He's won more ranking points than anybody else But if he can get through his variable team in that semi-final He'll probably be able to make his maiden Grand Slam final and then have to take on either Nadal or Djokovic So Safano Sidney pass. He's got a really really good draw all the way up to the final
