Carlos Alcaraz and defending French Open champion Novak Djokovic enter the event as favorites on the men’s side. Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev and Stefanos Tsitsipas make up the rest of the top five. Two-time French Open runner-up Casper Ruud is the sixth favorite, followed by 14-time winner of the event Rafael Nadal.
