The 2021 champion and the first-seeded at Roland Garros in 2022, Novak Djokovic will face a lot of dangerous players on his way to title defence this year.
If he wants to defend the 2000 points from last year and keep his world number 1 spot in the ATP Rankings, Novak Djokovic will face a difficult quest at the 2022 Roland Garros. Soon 35-years-old Serbian will start his journey against Yoshihito Nishioka who he already defeated twice in his career.
In the second round, Djokovic will face much more challenging opponent as he will be facing the winner of the match between Alex Molcan and Federico Coria. He defeated both of them last year in Belgrade on his way to the title, but both are very solid clay-court player, and the Slovak player is now coached by his former coach, Marian Vajda.
In the third round, the Serbian could face the 31st seeded Jenson Brooksby or another clay-court specialist, Pablo Cuevas. Diego Schwartzman or Novak's good friend, Grigor Dimitrov will most probably await him in the fourth round of the second Grand Slam of the season.
From quarterfinals, it will be just the big names for Djokovic. First, he would most probably take on Rafael Nadal, then he could face Carlos Alcaraz or Alexander Zverev before eventually taking on Stefanos Tsitsipas or Daniil Medvedev in the final.
Novak Djokovic's path to the trophy at the 2022 Roland Garros:
Round 1 | Yoshihito Nishioka |
Round 2 | Alex Molcan / Federico Coria |
Round 3 | Jenson Brooksby / Pablo Cuevas |
Round 4 | Grigor Dimitrov / Diego Schwartzman |
Quarterfinals | Rafael Nadal |
Semifinals | Carlos Alcaraz / Alexander Zverev |
