Good ranking! Here’s mine: 1. Novak Djokovic 2. Carlos Alcaraz 3. Daniil Medvedev 4. Holger Rune 5. Stefanos Tsitsipas 6. Casper Ruud 7. Jannik Sinner 8. Andrey Rublev 9. Karen Khachanov 10. Lorenzo Musetti So as I expected ours are pretty close. I debated for a long time whether Alcaraz or Djokovic should be #1 but in the end I went with Djoker just because he’s been so consistent at reaching quarters here and I trust him a bit more not to get ousted in an early round. Our 3-5 are exactly the same and our 6-8 are the same but in a different order. I put Ruud at 6 cuz now that he’s finally found form he seems more of a comfortable clay courter than Rublev and Sinner, and he’s reached 2 Slam finals. Rublev and Sinner are basically neck-and-neck for me with similar stats but Sinner leads their h2h 3-2 and has put up better fights in Slam quarterfinals imo. Our 9 and 10 are different. Khachanov almost always makes second week so I put him there because of his consistency, and Musetti seems to be finally finding form and he’s pushed Djokovic and Tsitsipas to 5 on here. I didn’t include Fritz because it’s been forever since an American man made an RG quarterfinal, and I didn’t include Zverev because I wasn’t impressed by his mental game in the lead-ups. Also, here are my power rankings for the women: 1. Iga Swiatek 2. Elena Rybakina 3. Aryna Sabalenka 4. Jessica Pegula 5. Barbora Krejcikova 6. Coco Gauff 7. Paula Badosa 8. Daria Kasatkina 9. Veronika Kudermetova 10. Maria Sakkari
@@adilmcdonald4914 if I could put both at #1 I would. I agree that in theory Alcaraz’s fitness should give him the advantage, but we’ve seen how Djokovic consistently finds a way to win against fitter players in best of 5. Alcaraz also has never played a GOAT in a Slam before and he nearly got beaten by Ramos Vinolas in R2 last year while Djokovic breezed through his first 4 rounds. I don’t think Djokovic’s prep has been great but I think he did just enough for me to put him on top. I’d consider Alcaraz beating Djokovic to be the upset at RG and not the other way around. But just to be clear, I’m not predicting Djokovic to go all the way and I think there’s a good chance he gets beaten. I’m just saying he’s still the most reliable in Slams overall Edit: well I’ll be damned he went all the way
I think people are weighting Medvedev's recent win too much, no doubt he's top 5 but I think he still hasn't shown enough consistency to be that high up I think Rune has shown more clay court promise and just on historical results I think there's an argument for Tsitsipas to be ahead.
Rune has his bo5 question marks though due to his fitness issues, so I think Medvedev is still ahead. Tsitsipas is historically a great clay courter but he’s been so on and off.
Meddy at 3rd still sounds a bit inflated to me, but I guess that’s what the Power Ranking is supposed to do. Daniil repeating his Rome run at RG would be incredible.
@@lvlup3173 This has nothing to do with not liking Djokovic. But you have to look at it realistically and Djokovic doesn't look good physically and then he seems to be injured.
@@issahatake90 winning a slam is definitely not a problem with Djokovic... There are 3 guys in Tennis you should never count out.. 1 is retired, 1 is semi retired and 1 is currently active... Novak is recovering and he got enough time to recover for FO, once he find his mojo in first week then he will be ready to beat anyone except maybe Carlos or Jannik in semi or final
@@lvlup3173 I don't rule out Djokovic 100% but I try to analyze the reality and it tells me Djokovic is not playing well right now. Djokovic will not win in this form, if Djokovic manages to be fit again for the French Open, Djokovic can do it but I doubt it.
Cheers Gill, that's very similar to my list with a few small changes. I would swap Sinner and Rublev around, and Rune and Medvedev. As much as Rome is a huge plus in Medvedev's resume, I weigh Rune's four top 10 wins so highly. Had Medvedev went a round or two further in Madrid, I would agree with him at #3. With Sinner, I think he was the most consistent outside of the current top 3 this year and his clay results should be taken with a grain of salt (withdrew in Barcelona, did not play Madrid). I also thought his level against Rune was very high at MC. Outside of his MC win, Rublev hasn't inspired much confidence in me to put him above Sinner.
And when you take into consideration that it is the FO - the best of 5 on clay, I start losing hopes for Sinner, Rune and maybe even Medvedev as well...
It’s crazy to think in the future when people will have an argument about the goat they’ll say : yeah but Novak only has 2 RG while Alcaraz has 8. Alcaraz rises at the very same moment Nadal isn’t there anymore to block everyone from winning.
Yes not very fair but tennis works a bit like that, Roddick could be one of those players up there beyond Murray and Wawrinka without Federer blocking him at Wimbledon. I find it very impressive Djokovic best Nadal twice there at all
I have a lousy record of predicting early losses by the aging big three and they kept amazing me, so I should know better, but I can't help feeling that a Djokovic loss in R2 or R3 would not be that surprising. The new era does seem finally upon us.
I remembered to make my guess only after 6 trough 10 were revealed. My guess for the rest of Gills list is 5. Tsitsipas 4. Rune 3. Medvedev 2. Djokovic 1. Alcaraz
I still feel a little tentative about Medvedev at #3. He had a great Rome run, but he still has had bad results on clay all of his career. Plus Rome had a bunch of issues with rain and a lot of upsets too. I think putting him 5th or something would make sense. I still think Stef will have a good RG. He tends to peak at slams, well AO and RG at least, and I think the rain messed him up against Medvedev.
If Novak is fit, I give him the edge in a final matchup against anybody, but if he meets Daniil or Carlos in the semi final, he could be in trouble. Novak's experience winning majors gives him an edge in the final.
@@drtash21 I agree. If Carlos or Novak take Daniil to a 5th set, they have the edge. But that's assuming Novak is not injured. His elbow and shoulder worry me.
@@danbotez1307 you never know. Novak may have healed and may be in better shape than he leads on. He is more concerned with peaking at the right time than winning all the matches he plays. But I agree that Novak has not been convincing thus far this clay season. We will know soon enough. The good news is that his draw is relatively friendly until the QF, so he will have 4 matches to get into a groove before he meets serious opposition.
Still sad to not see Nadal on that list. I think Rune is being held in a way too high regard. He doesn't have the endurance for a 5 setter. IMO. Fritz neither. Personally, Its gonna be either Novak, Alcaraz or Med.
This is great playing with power rankings, but this is the best of 5 on clay - only the physical beast can win this, so I would put Sinner, Rune, Coric, and Medvedev lower on this list.
The praise for Medvedev at number 3 in the rankings seems overly generous, especially considering his lack of success in reaching a quarterfinal of a Grand Slam for quite some time.
But there’s good reason for it, he’s significantly improved his form pretty much right after AO, looking as good if not better than he did when he did make Slam quarterfinals
I get that you're confident, but I don't agree. The only top 10 players he beat on clay were Stef and Holger. And guess what? Stef was exhausted from playing late night matches and getting disrupted by the rain every time. Holger's fitness level was questionable too. Plus, Rome's conditions were totally different this year, so it's hard to compare to RG. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess!
Gill my man you did not just put 22 Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the same Roland Garros power ranking tier as Medvedev, Rune and Tsitsipas?! Credit to you for at least saying Djokovic is unlike any other placement but still, if we're supposed to view these groupings as Tiers like you said at the start of the video, it's really strange that you didn't put Djokovic and Alcaraz in the same group given that there's a total of 24 Grand Slams between your top 5 and Djokovic holds 92% of those. Elbow is a worry yes, his clay season hasn't been ideal (obviously) but RG is BO5, a different beast. Djokovic, as a Big 3 member tied record holder of Slams, deserves a big benefit of the doubt. Big enough to be in the same tier as 20 year old Alcaraz even if he comes second in the power ranking.
Not only does Djokovic have more slam titles than the entire list combined, he has a factor of 11x more slam titles than the rest of the list combined 😂
I understand the reasoning, but don't agree with the Medvedev ranking. The sample size is way too small to establish this level is something that he can maintain on clay - The only notable wins he had were his last 2 matches, and there is an argument to be made that Tsitsipas' mental troubles (with his family) and Rune's fitness issues were decisive in this case.
I think we will have a new winner this year, Novak is getting older and a step or 2 slower if the younger guys are playing well they will win, they are hungry and it is a big opportunity sense Nadal is out, my picks are Medvedev or Alcaraz, if Rune can last fitness he has a shot, I think Novak will get knocked out.
My order would be: 1) Djokovic (if fit) 2) Alcaraz 3) Medvedev 4) Rune 5) Tsitsipas 6) Sinner (the only player he ever lost to in RG is Rafa) 7) Ruud 8) Rublev 9) Fritz 10) Cerundolo
@Billy Bob yeah, I didn't really count that Rublev loss because I thought he'd go on to win, and the first set was also a demolition job if I remember correctly (like 6-1)
Power rankings make no sense because it will all depend on the draw. Nothing can be said before the draw comes out. Some players cannot sustain high level of tennis and fitness in best of 5 if they have 3 tough matches in a row despite having a day of . So ,it all comes down to a favourable draw for some top players. My 1st favourite to win is Alcaraz if his draw is good . Also my 2nd favourite to win it is Sinner if his draw is favourable. Djoković won't win this RG ,Medvedev as well. Lets see.
Jon u still have people believe Djokovic can beat say a Rune Medvedev alcaraz back to back to back because of his history I say this people can lose early just look at Stef last year at RG when people saw draw they was omg he’s gonna win and omg Rafa he can’t beat Felix Djokovic Alcaraz/Sascha back to back to back
@@colethomas903 Well yeah ..Nole has experience .. I say biggest prob for Rune or Sinner is best of 5 matches and 3 tough matches in a row.. Even if they win those,still would be suffering with their fitness fpr the late rounds..
Remember, this is whole another format.. it's best of 5, and in that format, Nole is another animal. Not that Carlos isn't, but ... but... there is no but!
@@bsrussian I never heard him say he was sick or his elbow was fine. But I don’t follow him closely like his fans do. Pretty sure if his elbow was okay he wouldn’t need to wear a sleeve? He still had to wear one in Rome. That’s why I still think he’s injured. But it’s just an observation. I’m not Goran and don’t know his secrets lol 😅
Djokovic is #1 for me but just by a small hair over Alcaraz. I agree that he shouldn’t be underestimated on the big stage. I’ll start to believe he’s done when he loses before the quarters here
Meddy on Nr. 3 is at least rediculous. I hope Rune or Tsitsipas get on his courter and humiliate him in order to see how big of a mistake you are doing.
Stefanos hater ? take Medvedev home now..lost by the 172.. Have more respect for Stefanos top3 - 5 for 5 years since he was 19yrs old.. "objective"...my @ss.. lol

Unfortunate that Sinner had to withdraw from Barcelona and skip Madrid as we don't know how deep he might have gone in those tournaments.

Alcaraz has Djoker's number on clay.
I love that I'm one of the first people to see this! :)
Gill-you should not pay so much attention to those that disagree etc
16:45 4-0? He lost to Medvedev, Rune, Zverev abd Sinner. .
4-0 this year. Sinner was not in the top-10 at the time.
Wheres rafa
At home
he withdrew
he's injured.
He got tired of beating everyone at RG and withdrew ;)
@@antoniovasilev4661 😂
Remember, this is whole another format.. it's best of 5, and in that format, Nole is another animal. Not that Carlos isn't, but ... but... there is no but!
On RG clay:
Alcaraz beats a fit Djokovic.
Daniil beats an unfit Djokovic.
Who do you got if it’s Daniil vs Alcaraz in the finals?
@@AshleyKarys I like both Daniil and Alcaraz. If fit, Alcaraz should win since he is better clay courter than Daniil.
@@danbotez1307 Agreed. Who do you want to win RG?
@@AshleyKarys Carlitos
@@danbotez1307 same
I agree alcaraz has to be first in the power rankings, but underestimating diokovic at a slam is a mistake. All my moneys on him
What do you think about his elbow? Something to be concerned about? Or just one of those minor injuries?
@@aiylacarson he said his elbow was fine in rome. He was sick and that’s why he was playing so bad in the qf
@@bsrussian Djokovic is overrated on clay even more at his age
@@bsrussian I never heard him say he was sick or his elbow was fine. But I don’t follow him closely like his fans do. Pretty sure if his elbow was okay he wouldn’t need to wear a sleeve? He still had to wear one in Rome. That’s why I still think he’s injured. But it’s just an observation. I’m not Goran and don’t know his secrets lol 😅
Djokovic is #1 for me but just by a small hair over Alcaraz. I agree that he shouldn’t be underestimated on the big stage. I’ll start to believe he’s done when he loses before the quarters here
Meddy on Nr. 3 is at least rediculous. I hope Rune or Tsitsipas get on his courter and humiliate him in order to see how big of a mistake you are doing.
don't worry..no172 humiliate him...
The objective top 10:
1. Nole
2. Alcaraz
3. Med
4. Rune
5. Sinner
6. Rublev
7. Khachanov
8. Fritz
9. Ruud
10. Norrie
What makes you objective ?
Stefanos hater ? take Medvedev home now..lost by the 172.. Have more respect for Stefanos top3 - 5 for 5 years since he was 19yrs old.. "objective"...my @ss.. lol
@@georgiosinfa7962 this is top 10 favorites to win the title. Stef is a top 5 player in this tournament but he will NEVER win a slam. Him and Zverev are too weak minded.
So the preview video, as opposed to this one, tells us where you're putting your money to back your mouth?
Well, I don't bet. But figuratively, yes.
@@GillGrossI love how I can literally hear every inflection in your tone from reading the comment 😂😂. Never change, Gill
No surpise if Joker takes the 3rd trophy.
Luka also no surprise if he don’t
Luka and Joker - u guys talking NBA or...
Dan he’s talking about joker 3 RG
@@colethomas903 yh ik, just funny cause joker is also the nick name of nikola jokic, also Serbian and he could have won 3 mvps
Surprise is Djoker makes the final. No surprise is Alcaraz beats Djoker in the semis or the final.
Ruud too high after loss to Jarry?
