@@prateekmahapatra1789 Nowak didnt play bad in Geneva, another 2, 3 matches in Paris and he is in Grand Slam mode. I expect him to reach Semifinal at least. He always had that extra gear for best of 5 matches.

@@prateekmahapatra1789 I dont think Djokovic is done. His situation is completely different to Nadal. Nadal would still be winning Paris if not injured and out of the game. Djokovic knows his body perfect and he pretty healthy. He would know when he cannot play for titles anymore. there are training paramenters, he knows exactly where he is bodywise. Its just if older player have a bad segment in their career people tend to jump on the age factor immediately. Federes career beeing over has been a thing since 2013, 14, yet he bounced back big years later. Even at age 39 it was mostly not his age, but his knee which prevented him from having success in his comeback. off course you can make a statement about age and inury having something in common, but i think you know what i mean. People are so jumpy when it comes to players. 5 months ago many people claimed Djokovic has a shot winning the Grand Slam, now 5 months later many say he is completely done and should retire. So what it is? That is not how tennis works. I expect him to bounce back big, dont know if it will be in Paris (FO or Olympia) but at the latest in Wimbledon. Losing a few matches here and there doesnt mean much.
I believe Ruud has a good chance to win his first Grandslam.I really hope he does well.Nole and Alcaraz did not have the best claycourt season.So it might be Ruud , Zverev or Tsitsipas's time to shine.
So wide open 4 obvious reasons. Nole form & fitness. Carlos & Yannik injuries impact. Taking Novak d. Sasha in 5 & Sinner d. Alcaraz in 4. Novak d. Yannik in 4 for RG#4/CGS#4. Think Nole has found enough form in Geneva w/3 matches under his belt. My RG winning pix prioritized: Novak then Sasha then Yannik then Carlos based on form, fitness & injury questions. Thanx Cam. Cheers, Milan
Carlos injury doesn't seem as bad as Jannik, for Sinner that injury can be as bad as ending his career if something goes wrong, he was about to withdraw of RG... So no, Carlos is more likely to reach finals. Djokovic is having the worst season in ages.
@@m.a.g.3920 Spot on. Thanx for the Carlos/Yannik perspective update. Yeah, Djoker is running so hot/cold & on/off - ever since after ATP Finals, he just way way off - whatever it is - wors season in ages is spot on!
@@TuningintotheOne4BLN I don't think Djokovic problem is physical or not being fit, I guess he is unmotivated, he sees that an era is ending and I think he sees how Sinner and Alcaraz are the new guys in town, Wawrinka, Nadal, Murray, Fed, Thiem... All retired or about to retire... He starts losing against "no-name" players... I think he's confused, not focused or with enough confidence.. what to fight for? Which record to break? Uhmmm it's some sort of foggy point of his career. Perhaps the beggining of the end. He has a lot of dignity, he won't stay there just for the sake of It.
@@m.a.g.3920 I think mental focus, motivation, and hunger are still there. Agree with the foggy. Do think part of this is focus & physical fitness because he is running hot & cold - intensity is missing. Desire & Hunger seems missing - and that reflects on lack of fitness. Foggy, Dazed & Confused - no anchoring coaching rhythm. Definitely searching for something - don't know what that is. RG will be a good test as defending champ - but so was AO. Cheers, Milan
Agree, and if he does make QF he is going to have a VERY tough time against Ruud more than likely. Surprised Cam did not mention Ruud as a potential semifinalist when he has made back to back finals!
i feel rafa will wake up for this match, he knows everyone has him losing. i think he likes not being the favorite as it takes all the pressure of him, all of the pressure will be on Zverev. i think we may have an "upset" in the first round where Rafa wins in 4. i mean the guy has won this thing 14 times in all types of conditions against all kinds of players.
I would put Tsitsipas up there as well. A little shaky at times in Rome but in Bo5 I do not picture him losing to Jarry. Ruud as well is always threatening here.
I doubt Novak's gona lift the trophy. His current form on clay is average. But let's see he usually lifts his form in GS and he too knows that it is perhaps his last chance to win RG again. It all depends how motivated he is for his 25th GS majors trophy. Perhaps he is totally focused on Olympics.
My god. Rafa had someone ranked 4 and recent master 1000 winner and shamless djokovic's fans whining about how easy is his draw. And also whining about sinner's draw. And that too in the top comment here. Most toxic fan base for a reason.
Yes, he's draw is easy to a player who is not even ranked in top 200 to the level of it being easier than one of the top-4 seeds. Rafa fans are most shameless and toxic fan base for a reason
@@Арчи-д5тThat is because he is using a protected ranking as he was injured for the most of the last 2 years and not his current ranking. These kids don't know the rules. The only thing they know is whine even when he literally has a number 4 and recent master1000 winner in round 1. It is no wonder actually after seeing your comment history you claimed the guy who dropped the bottle accidentally should be charged with "murder attempt". How low can this nole's shameless and toxic fans go? Oh, wait you are the ones who sent death threats to line umpire when she was the victim who nole hit on the throat. So, no wonder you guys are the most shameless and most toxic fan base ever for a reason.
Zverev worked so hard for his number 4 seed only to be disrespected by Roland Garros organizers to be given Nadal as his first opponent. Nadal is a medical wildcard that is much better than his official wildcard. Which should be considered when setting up the matches. If Nadal beats Zverev he grabs his number 4 ranking privileges Zverev worked so hard to get.
Why are you saying like that Novak Djokovic had lot of grandslams more toughest fixtures. This time only Nadal has challanging fixture. It's too partial for novak and nadal in all grandslams
I want this year 2024 move fast asap. something bothering Novak since from end of 2023. Rafa-Hip, Sinner-Hip, Carlos-Forearms : with so much injuries and formless Novak, RG24 is wide open with a BRAND new champion. Sinner might withdraw after few rounds - since Hip injury is very sensitive!! Lets see and hope Novak takes one match at a time and progresses.... if Novak does not win RG, then, it affects him in Olympics, again affects in Wimbledon... so many chain reactions.... Raise the bar Novak (you have 3/4 more years of shell-life)
CAM I think it’s really rude to use this photo. This was an extremely sad and vulnerable moment for Rafa that he couldn’t walk away from because it was for Roger.
Rafa come in Paris no to play or win , just come to retire on place where wins more GS! Since Rafa retired after Djokovic will retire in Australia on Australian open!
I'm not looking past Zverev vs Nadal. If Zverev wins, then i can dream big for Zverev to get to semis and play Djokovic 😁. Both Sinner and Alcaraz coming in with question marks got easy draws, and if they manage to stay healthy, definitely watch out for that Semifinal. Tsitsipas has the best chance to get to a final if these two are not 100%
Thats interesting, perricard is in the draw. He has a very good serve, and i'm interested how far he can come. He can make it for sure, probably not to the finals but he will make it far. Yes, please nishikori action!!!
Because Gaston’s support from the French crowd, I get what you’re saying though, Gaston’s game is pretty annoying to watch, he will drop shot and lob the whole match!
Rafa fans, look on the brighter side, if somehow Rafa Beats Sasha, and its very possible, bcoz Sasha must be mentally messed up due to all the fuss about his girlfriend, if Rafa actually beats Sasha, its a cakewalk afterwards till Novak in the semis, and we can still have another Goat match
WORST FIRST ROUND DRAW NADAL COULD HAVE GOT. EVEN OFF FORM DJOKOVIC WOULD HAVE BEEN FAR EASIER. DOUBT NADAL CAN WIN WITH THE SERVING HINDERANCE HE HAS.
This channel always gets it wrong. Zverev is currently attacked with his court case by all the tennis media and would be harassed on the court by rafa's shameless fanbase. So if rafa get's through he has no clay players or guys who are stable on clay up until later rounds. And, btw, he's like 300+ rated player, and he has way easier draws than most of the top seeds, but Sinner, his draw should be called a red carpet to finals.
Side note I reckon Novak's qtr probably one of the best and similarly favourable to sinner's. For sinner but first 3 rounds have streaky players and he is injured so they could pounce.
@@Somone_final_final_v2 for anything but these ridiculous "tough draw" videos. And if you think that Novak's draw is easy to the level of Sinner's cakewalk then I have no interest in arguing, you know nothing about tennis.

Bro, Cam, why are you doing Nadal like this?
he doesnt choose the draws….
@@ranecIoud I think he was referring to the thumbnail pic.
Bro that’s how us Rafa fans are man it’s tough out here
How?
Because he got bullied himself that's why he mock others
Bro only has one picture of Nadal and he uses it every single time its possible, this is beyond daft.
Nadal vs Zverev in the 1st round? - that is terribly unfair to both players.
Thanks for all the information . Good channel.
Love your work Cam. Thanks for uploading this. Your knowledge is incredible!😊
I don't see Nole progressing beyond 3rd or 4th round in RG.

i knows its sad and cruel but we gotta be real .. i hope he takes a set but we all know , its okay tho RG is Nadal , Nadal is RG
Rafa has a tough match but if rafa wins zuerev he will win the title
for now, Zverev looks far better than the rest of the field...Joker was a joke in Geneva lost in semifinal against Machac
I think Musetti dumps him out , lets go italians !!
I would put Tsitsipas up there as well. A little shaky at times in Rome but in Bo5 I do not picture him losing to Jarry. Ruud as well is always threatening here.
I think its a good outcome for Rafa. If he is not 100%, there is no shame losing to Zverev. He deserves to go out on a high.
it's a carnaged filled and crazy draw for the men's. i think it's going to be a toss up for the semi's and finals. thanks for the video Cam 😀
Dude why do you always use that same image of Nadal?
This is Zverev's best chance at a grand slam
After everyone count out alcaraz for his drop in form in late 2023 , he has bounced back ... He is a demon , for me its either Zverev or alcaraz
Dude! Watch Draper vs Alcaraz could be an upset there! Draper has huge Potential
Feel very bad for Lekechka
AMC, Murray, to the moon!🌙
Djole for the win!
I wish Noe could lift the trophy but I doubt it. Sooo hope Sinner wins it.
