The upcoming French Open is poised to be highly unpredictable with several top contenders either out due to injuries or not in peak form. Novak Djokovic, the current world No. 1, recently suffered a loss in Rome that jeopardizes his top ranking, potentially paving the way for Jannik Sinner to become the new world No. 1. Key players like Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are also struggling, Nadal winning only 4 games in his last match and Alcaraz, along with Sinner, being sidelined due to injury. Djokovic won only 5 games in his recent match, adding to the unpredictability. This situation has led to speculation about a possible first-time Grand Slam winner, with names like Holger Rune, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Casper Ruud being considered as potential champions.

Djokovic's loss today also means that Jannik Sinner will have a big, big lead on the fight for #1 at Roland Garros.
Bringing this back again. This will be the most Open French Open in the last 20 years. None of the favourites playing well. Could be a first time Slam winner coming right up. Rune, Tsitsipas or Ruud? https://t.co/1B1vq4qbbK
With Djokovic losing, Sinner and Alcaraz banged up, Ruud and Tsitsipas playing erratically, and Nadal a mere shell of his former self, this year feels like the most open Roland Garros draw since 2004.
Sinner out with injury…. Alcaraz out with injury… Nadal wins 4 games yesterday…. Djokovic wins 5 games today….. The French Open plot thickens Tsitsipas? Zverev ? Ruud? Dimitrov ?
Who will win the French Open?
