World number one Carlos Alcaraz, who will be fighting for his first French Open title, does not consider himself favourite to win, saying his main priority is to enjoy the tournament beyond defending his ranking.
"I'm going to try to do my best and that's all I'm thinking about," Alcaraz said on Thursday at a promotional event where he played with children ahead of the tournament. "I come here to enjoy, to show my best tennis. And of course I'll try to do a good result, but it's not the only thing I think about," he added.
"I don't know if it's that up-for-grabs . I don't know who could beat Carlos , there aren't many who can beat Carlos or Djokovic. They are not easy to beat. I do not know if Rune or Medvedev are going to do well," said coach Toni Nadal, who also talked about his nephew's absence.
