Bartoli doesn't see Alcaraz as 'overwhelming favourite' for French Open title at Roland Garros

Marion
Bartoli expressed her opinion that Carlos Alcaraz isn’t the main favorite at
the French Open.
After a disappointing
third-round loss at the Rome Open to Fabian Marozsan, Carlos Alcaraz traveled
to France to prepare in advance for the French Open. Despite the early defeat,
the Spanish player regained the world No. 1 ranking and holds a record of 30-3
this year, having already secured four titles despite starting his season late
due to an injury earlier in the year.
With the
absence of Rafael Nadal, several players have a better opportunity to claim
victory at the second Grand Slam of the year. While many consider Alcaraz to be
the tournament favorite, former tennis player Marion Bartoli dismissed the
20-year-old athlete as the top contender.
"Alcaraz
is one of the favorites but he's not the overwhelming favorite. No, I don't
think so. There is not one player who stands out in the pack," Bartoli
said.
The former
world No. 7 named the five favorites of the tournament in her opinion and added
that this will be "the widest open Roland Garros."
“This is going to be
the widest open Roland Garros we're going to have since Nadal's domination. I
have picked five names who could win this year and they are Djokovic, Alcaraz,
Holger Rune, Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. I still feel like one of those
players will be the winner but picking five names who could win the men's tournament
has never happened in the past in almost 20 years," she said.
