Top seed Djokovic has Nadal, Ferrer, Tsonga and Berdych in his half, while defending champion Wawrinka has Murray, Nishikori and Raonic in his half.

Unfortunately both Roger Federer and Gael Monfils have withdrawn from the tournament.

Rafael Nadal

Men’s Potential Quarter-finals

  • Djokovic v Berdych
  • Nadal v Tsonga
  • Wawrinka v Raonic
  • Murray v Nishikori

Possible Semifinals are Djokovic v Nadal and Wawrinka v Murray.

It’s going to be a great RG! Djokovic is playing to win Roland Garros for the first time, Wawrinka is defending his title and Nadal is playing for his tenth title as King of Clay. Plus Murray, Nishikori, Thiem, Tsonga and a host of other players will be gunning to progress as far as they can.

Having Maria Sharapova out of the draw has opened it up for the ladies (IMHO she will be missed!)

Serena Williams and Azarenka are in the same quarter – their QF could be final-worthy!

There’s a big opportunity for Australian Open champion Kerber and other top seeds Radwanska, Muguruza, Halep and others to make a run to the finals
