🗼 The @rolandgarros champions. The historic tournament started in 1925 and the first 6 editions were won between Lacoste & Cochet. Due the World War II between 1940-1945 the tournament was not played.
In the 50-60s the Aussie players as Rosewall, Laver, Emerson and Roche won a lot in Paris. Manolo Santana from Spain won it there too.
In the 70s Björn Borg won 6 @rolandgarros trophies. Also Guillermo Vilas, Mats Wilander and Ivan Lendl triumphed. Yannick Noah still remains as the only French man to win in Paris.
Guga Kuerten also is a great champion in Paris with 3 trophies. In the late 90s Agassi and Moyá won. At the beginning of the 2000s the Juan Carlos Ferrero title and the unforgettable run of Gaston Gaudio are stories to remember.
From 2005 up-to-the-date @rolandgarros has seen an unbelievable run as @rafaelnadal has won ¡13! editions of the tournament.
Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka are the only players that won a @rolandgarros between this enormous dominance of Rafa.

Roland Garros 2022 draw. Rafa's (5) projected path:
•R1: J.Thompson
•R2: S.Wawrinka/C.Moutet
•R3: B.Van De Zandschulp(26)/F.Fognini
•R4: FAA(9)/R.Opelka (17)
•QF: N.Djokovic(1)/ D.Schwartzman (15)
•SF: A.Zverev(3)/Alcaraz(6)
•F: D.Medvedev(2)/S.Tsitsipas(4)/A.Rublev(7)/C.Ruud(8)
Projected QFs
•Rafa vs Novak
•Alcaraz vs Zverev
•Ruud vs Tsitsipas
•Rublev vs Medvedev
Again an imbalanced draw like Madrid. Top heavy
Super heavy in the top half
👎 👎👎👎👎
Almost safe passage for Tsitsipas to the final.
Brutal draw. The worst possible scenario was getting Novak, Carlos, Stef back to back in any order. And it came true.
If Rafa's foot feels fine, draw is irrelevant. Else, what a disaster of a draw!! Pretty sure even neutral fans won't enjoy such a lop sided draw.
