The No. 1 seed at Roland Garros got us thinking about some other ambitious crossovers.

Stefanos Tsitsipas and Aryna Sabalenka can both reach the top spot for the first time in Paris this year.

Is the clay-court Grand Slam really as wide open as we think? We break down the bracket.

There’s a reason a statue of Rafael Nadal stands outside Court Philippe Chatrier on the southwest outskirts of Paris.

While everybody is worried about the Spaniard's loss to Fabian Marozsan in Rome, he's still the man to beat in Paris.

Also: Elena Rybakina breaks into the Top 5, Holger Rune hits another new high and Zheng Qinwen cracks the Top 20.

As the tennis world processed the idea of the first Roland Garros without Nadal since 2004, Medvedev also acknowledged his absence "opens the possibility for many players.”

From Rafa's ranking to Thiem's opportunity to the betting markets—and beyond—Thursday's announcement has a variety of impacts.

The Brit's post was a reference to the Mutua Madrid Open's faux pas during the shared birthday of their eventual champions Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka.

Alcaraz is set to leapfrog Novak Djokovic atop the ATP rankings next week but saw his 12-match winning streak end in shocking fashion at the Internazionali BNL d’Italia.
