Casper Ruud has been one of the most exciting players on Tour this season. The Norwegian has been on good form, winning one title and finishing as a runner-up in another. However, ahead of the Roland Garros, the 25-year-old picks Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic as favorites to win the title. This is surprising as Alcaraz, Sinner, and Djokovic have yet to win any clay titles this season, and Ruud finished as runners-up at the Roland Garros last year.
