First big meeting of this Roland Garros 2023 with the draw of the various tables this Thursday, May 25.
Without defending champion Rafael Nadal, out of the rest of the 2023 season, Roland-Garros is looking for its new king and the draw made this Wednesday, May 25 could already give a little idea depending on the complexity of the tables. The main issue of this draw will be to know in which part of the table the Serbian Novak Djokovic will be. Seeded number 3 on the Porte d’Auteuil side, the former world number 1 will meet in the semi-final either the world number 1 and big favorite Carlos Alcaraz or the Russian Daniil Medvedev, recent winner of the Masters 1000 in Rome and quite impressive since the start of the season.
Among the French, no player will be seeded for this Roland Garros tournament. A disappointment, but a logical result due to the fickleness of the new generation. We will still follow the first opponent of the veterans Richard Gasquet, Gaël Monfils, but also that of Benoit Paire who obtained a wild card or even promising young people, Arthur Fils and Lucas Van Assche. Among women, Caroline Garcia, world number 5, hopes to be in a good part of the table in order to pass the second round of Roland Garros, something she could not do in the two previous editions.
The draw for the main draws of Roland-Garros will take place at 2 p.m. at the headquarters of the French Tennis Federation.
To see the draw, a moment eagerly awaited by the players, you will have to go through the France.tvsport platform or on Amazon Prime, official broadcasters of the French Open.
