Alcaraz - I think Tstitsipas is a match that Alcaraz will easily win. Difference in level is significant between these 2 players. Alcaraz is the absolute world top and the Greek is just below that. On a good day from Tsitsipas he can give Alcaraz a hard time, but I honestly don't know the stats either. Alcaraz is really good on Gravel, maybe he will be as good as Nadal in his prime. Would we get someone who will win as much in Paris as Nadal? That is probably the gravel king for centuries.
I really give Tsitsipas chances, he has been stable among the best 5 in the world for a while, right? Botic van de Zandschulp is also going through a great phase in his career at the moment. He has reached a final for the 2nd time and the question is whether he can beat Holger Rune. I think it's going to be a tough story because Rune has arguably had better results lately. Much is being written about Nadal, but when will the moment finally come when we will see him on the tennis court again? Everyone is eagerly looking forward to that, of course.
Van de Zandschulp is a good player, many players want to train with him because he has one of the hardest strokes in the world. Djokovic is known for also enjoying training with him. I sometimes wonder how world top players train, you want to train with someone of your own level, but you don't want to share your own weapons with other players and you don't want to reveal them either. A tennis coach sees many things, but you also want to play rallies with players. I don't see Djokovic and Nadal training together anytime soon. I know that Sampras and Agassi used to do it sometimes, but they often faced each other in the finals every month.
