EMMA RADUCANU will face Linda Noskova in the first round of this year's French Open on Monday.

Raducanu will go up against qualifier Linda Noskova in the first round of the French Open to mark her debut at Roland Garros after being handed a favourable opener in Thursday's draw. "If she didn’t qualify at the US Open, or maybe lost in the second round of qualification, everything would have been different. The British star has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence after winning last year's US Open but is likely to face a major test at Roland Garros after experiencing mixed fortunes on clay in recent weeks.

Mats Wilander has been speaking highly of Carlos Alcaraz as the Spaniard prepares to face Juan Ignacio Londero in the first round at Roland-Garros.

"I think that it’s mental and I think Carlos Alcaraz has this unbelievably positive attitude. Boris Becker was even younger than me when he won Wimbledon in 1985 and people always talk about ‘why can you not be 18, 19 anymore’, because the game is so physical. Roland-Garros

The tricky part is I'm used to a harder ball than most of these players hit, so I tend not to move my feet, and then I get sloppy, and then it gets ugly. Both have the consistency that elevates the top players from the rest, says Nideffer, who had 317 singles and 472 doubles wins in her career. "I felt her game was more like mine, more all-around and not all power, and that's fascinating—that she could win against those players." I thought, what is Nadal going to attack, what is he going to do playing him? He's got an amazing game." The one time I did watch him, I couldn't find a weakness," Nideffer told TENNIS.com in an interview.

It is a place that I consider the most important one in my tennis career, without a doubt, and with a lot of positive memories.” “It's true that here I won maybe a couple more than the rest of the places, but I think my level of tennis on clay has been high during a long period of time in my tennis career, without a doubt. “I just enjoy, and I just enjoyed all my tennis career to be where I am,” said the 13-time champion in his pre-tournament press conference.

If Medvedev reaches the semi-finals in Paris and earns more than 15 points at the ATP 250 event in the week of 6 June at 's-Hertogenbosch, this would prevent Zverev from going to World No. 1 on 13 June even if he triumphs at Roland Garros. Should he win his maiden Grand Slam title, the Spaniard could move to as high as No. 4 on 6 June and No. 3 one week later on 13 June. If the Serbian wins the title, he will remain in top spot for a 373rd week on 6 June. If Djokovic does not reach the semi-finals, both Medvedev and Zverev have an opportunity to move to World No. 1. There is even more on the line at Roland Garros this year thanks to a three-way battle for the No. 1 spot in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings. However, one week after Roland Garros concludes, the situation could dramatically change. If Zverev wins the tournament and Medvedev does not reach the final, the German will become the 28th World No. 1.
