Djokovic still in bad form and it dosent look good for him. Clay season was always bad for him but now this is the worst year so far. Losing in early rounds and i think he dosent stand a chance on the french open. Something needs to change fast if he wants to win it

Judging by this article, Djokovic had problems with his right elbow: https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/65354645

would not count Djokovic out for French open winner, he does have bad results on clay so far, but he always starts clay season with a few loses
nevertheless, Tsitsipas and Alcaraz seem to be in form, and would challenge him on RG for sure, I am not sure that Nadal will even take part there, he is obviously closing down his career

I can assure you 100% that Rafa is going to play at RG. In fact, if he wasn't going to play, he'd announce the retirement already. RG has always been the perfect tournament for him and he's going to try to win it for one last time, no doubt about that. He's even missing his beloved clay tournament series, just for a glimpse of hope to play RG.

Of course we agree that for Nadal the most important tournament in his career is the French Open and that he wants to win it again, but even he can't go against his age and physical limitations.
Nothing in life is 100% certain, not even the fact that Nadal will play at the French Open. Of course he will do everything he can to perform, but the fact is that he is getting older and has more and more problems with injuries.
Considering the current problems of Djokovic and Nadal with injuries for me, and I believe many other tennis fans, Alcaraz is the favorite in this tournament.
