The 2022 French Open is the next Grand Slam on the tennis calendar and here’s our prediction on who will be crowned champion.
Up until the quarterfinals, the day session starts at 5 a.m. ET, while the night session starts at 3 p.m. ET. After the quarterfinals, the day and night session times vary daily.There are a few different factors to consider when predicting who will win the 2022 French Open.
The tournament’s most unique differentiation to other slams is the clay surface. The clay fosters slower playing conditions and higher bounces, favoring athletes with more athletic ability, physical strength, and endurance. As it is, a Grand Slam winner has to have the physicality to endure seven matches, but winning all those rounds at the French Open becomes an even harder feat on the clay surface.
On the men’s side, it’s hard to see none other than the “King of Clay” Rafael Nadal prevail and win the 2022 title. The Spaniard already has 13 French Open titles under his belt, becoming the winningest men’s player at the event with a 105-3 record. Nadal’s heavy topspin game, creation of high-bounces, endurance to outplay his opponents and his patience to create opportunities before striking, all make the 35-year-old athlete a dominant force on the surface.
Additionally, Nadal has great momentum and confidence after capturing the 2022 Australian Open. With that victory, Nadal has more Grand Slam titles than any other male in history, with 21 titles. He surpassed both Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, who both have 20.
