Who are the favourites to win this year's Musketeers Cup?

With the release of the list of men's singles finals at the Rome Masters, the footsteps of the French Open are getting closer and closer. In this European clay season, Ruud won the Masters for the first time; Rune also won the 500 race; Zverev finally stopped his slump and won the newly promoted tournament in Munich. Looking forward to the annual French Open favorites, who are the candidates in everyone's mind?

In terms of the number of active clay champions, in addition to Djokovic, who is at the top of the list, has 20 titles, Ruud has 12 titles. The two-time French Open runner-up won his first non-250 title in Barcelona last year, and this year he also added a new clay Masters title, which was originally considered the first tier. However, he was swept away by Sinner at the Rome Masters, and his speech after the game made people feel a little "angry".

Many experts predict that if Djokovic still wants to win the Grand Slam title, this year's French Open and Wimbledon may be his last chance. Let's take a look at the post-90s/post-00s clay champions

List:

Zverev 4

Alcaraz 4

Zverev and Acre are both topped with four titles, and both have two Madrid Masters titles. Zverev won the Rome Masters in 2017 with a seven-year gap between his two career Rome Masters titles.

Acre won the Musketeers Cup for the first time last year and this year at the Monte Carlo Masters, winning the title for the first time.

Tsitsipas 3

Tsitsipas, who has won all three titles in Monte Carlo, has won three titles in the past five seasons, becoming second only to Rafael Nadal in the tournament. It is said that Monca is the bellwether of the French Open, but Tsitsipas still needs to improve his results at the French Open, and he has only won the runner-up once.

Rublev 2

Rublev won the title in Madrid the year before and became one of the few players in recent years to win both clay tournaments. However, the Russian's recent form has been sluggish, and Mo said that winning the tournament and breaking through the past French Open quarterfinals may also need to bottom out to achieve.

Medvedev 1

Ruud 1

Mei still hasn't broken the protracted championship drought, and given that her best result at the French Open is only the quarterfinals, it is unrealistic to expect her to achieve good results in the face of unfavorable years. Ruud was questioned about going to the French Open with such a mentality, and he may not be able to win a Grand Slam title in his lifetime.

And from the ranking of the number of clay champions after 2020, we can also get a glimpse of the leopard. The two Argentinians, Báez (6 titles) and Cerundolo (2 titles), will be the biggest spoilers.

Of course, we can't forget Sinner, who has been off the pitch for three months but has been back at full speed since his return, and is also an opponent that everyone does not want to meet.(Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qiye)
