Nadal gets started against Darwin Blanch in the first round today with a month to prepare for the Grand Slam that he has dominated over the years – the French Open. This tournament and every event leading to Roland Garros are on clay, where Nadal shines.
Last year Carlos Alcaraz won this event in the men’s draw defeating Jan-Lennard Struff to build momentum for the French Open. He came up short in the semifinals in that Grand Slam, but these tournaments on clay leading into Roland Garros help build a rhythm for contenders. Alcaraz will play his first match this year in the round of 64 on Friday as the second seed.
In the women’s draw Aryna Sabalenka won this tournament on her way to finishing in the semifinals of the French Open. She will start her journey to win this event back-to-back on Thursday as the second seed as well.
