As the 2023 French Open will take place from May 28 – June 11 at Roland Garros, fans and experts are excited for what promises to be a competitive tournament. Some of the world’s top players will take to Roland Garros’ clay courts, leading to speculation about who will win the men’s singles competition.
While we can’t predict who will win the tournament, experts have shared their opinions on likely contenders. Rafael Nadal, the Spanish legend who has dominated the French Open over so many years (2005 onwards) is frequently mentioned as a top contender.
Rafael Nadal (Spain)
Nadal has won a staggering 14 French Open titles, more than any other player in history.

The current world number 2 possesses immense physical strength and mental fortitude that have enabled him to remain at the top of his game for so long despite his advanced age.

Watching “The King Of Clay” play is always exciting as he brings a unique energy to every match he plays. However, there are concerns about his current hip injury status which could pose a significant obstacle for him during this tournament. It remains to be seen whether or not he will be able to overcome this setback and continue playing at the level we all know he’s capable of achieving.
Six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker said after Novak’s win in Australian Open, ‘The next major is Roland-Garros where, in my eyes, the favorite still is Rafael Nadal. But Novak is on his heels. So let’s see what these two tennis champions will deliver for French Open 2023.’
Novak Djokovic (Serbia)
Other players expected to challenge for the title include Novak Djokovic, a Serbian superstar who has had tremendous success in recent years. Djokovic is versatile and comfortable on all surfaces, with legendary mental strength and determination.
Novak Djokovic is in excellent form right now as he started this year as the Australian Open winner and is surely hungry for more titles. He also made the record of being in the Number 1 position for the most number of weeks and is tied with Nadal with 22 majors. He’s won the French Open twice and could add another title to his collection in 2023.

Another contender is Stefanos Tsitsipas, the Greek sensation who has made waves in the tennis world recently. Tsitsipas plays dynamically and suits clay well. He’s beaten some of the top players on this surface already. Stefanos Tsitsipas was in the finals of the Australian Open 2023 and fought bravely against Novak Djokovic.
Many experts believe that with his youth and energy, he could win multiple Grand Slam titles in the coming years, and the French Open may be his first. Of course, there are many other players who could emerge as contenders at the French Open in 2023. The field is wide open, and anything can happen on the day.
