PARIS - The French Open begins on Sunday. Here are eight men to watch on the Roland Garros clay.
But in beating world number one Novak Djokovic to the Rome title last week, his first title of the season, the reigning champion ensured that once again he will arrive at Roland Garros wearing his usual cloak of claycourt invincibility.This time last year Novak Djokovic was still fighting to rediscover the spark in his game — fast forward 12 months and he could be on the verge of holding all four Grand Slams for the second time in his career.
Federer’s best chance is to avoid the kind attritional baseline rallies that have blunted his natural attacking flair in the past, so expect one of the game’s great innovators to arrive with some new tricks up his sleeve.The Austrian’s elegant game is tailor-made for clay and while his style is very different to the more powerful Nadal’s he boasts the same stinging topspin off both flanks.
Zverev’s angular game is not best suited to clay and for all his firepower from the baseline, he looks vulnerable when dragged into battles by dirtball grinders like Colombian Cristian Garin and Italian Matteo Berrettini who inflicted early defeats on him in Munich and Rome.
