Many former players and current experts think Novak Djokovic will again win the French Open. Notably, after a tough start to the season, he recently found his form at the Italian Open. In that tournament, he looked like his former self after dominating all of his opponents to clinch the title.
Apart from Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz will be the other favorite after his recent performances on the red soil. Currently, the 19-year-old Spaniard is the most in-form player on the tour. He won back-to-back titles in both Barcelona and Madrid. Before that, he won the Miami Open as well.
