The French Open 2023 will begin on May 28 at Roland Garros in Paris. There will be no Rafael Nadal in the only clay-court Grand Slam event of the year. Nadal is the defending champion but the Spaniard was thrown out of the competition because he is not good enough to play a sport that is brutal on the body. In Nadal’s absence, all eyes will be on Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and new world number one Carlos Alcaraz. With Nadal out, this is a golden opportunity for Djokovic to win another Grand Slam and reach a record-breaking 23. Known as the ‘King of the Clay Court’, Nadal has 22 to his name. The only player who can stop Djokovic from surpassing Nadal is his compatriot Alcaraz.

Alcaraz and Djokovic are drawn in the same half of the Roland Garros draw. Alcaraz and Djokovic head the men’s tournament, although both are in the same half of the men’s singles draw, after Daniil Medvedev overtook Djokovic in the rankings to No. 2 following his win in Rome.
