Every year, it is a common trend to select the sports man as well as woman as favorites. These stars are the same ones, who have won the Australian Open recently. So, this year it will be Novak Djokovic and Serena Williams, as they won the Australian Open this time.
In fact, it is predicted that these two tennis stars will won the French Open this time. However, tennis fans must know that the Australian Open and Roland Garros are very different from each other. Both these tournaments have different climates, different playing surfaces, etc. All these factors dictate the performance of the tennis players.
Therefore, one should not assume that the tennis players that won the Australian Open will also win the French Open. Moreover, the constant pressure to perform the best and to become the center of attraction reduces the performance quality of the players most of the time. This is why if you think that Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic will win Roland Garros this time, you might be wrong then.
- Madison Keys – The next big tennis player
As tennis champions and experts have scrutinized the Australian Open closely, they say that Madison Keys has a lot of chances. They say she can become the next big tennis player, after seeing her stupendous performance in the Australian Open.
Although this new tennis star may have been defeated by Serena Williams in the semi finals, the critics have agreed that this celebrated tennis champion put forward a play that was matchless to any of the match played by a 19-year-old tennis player.
The whole performance statistics of Keys in the Australian Open is not a coincidence. She clearly is destined to a lot of tennis Slam runs in the future. Tennis fans can be sure that they will see Keys in the French Open’s second weeks.
- Victoria Azarenka can make a comeback
One of the other tennis players, who is believed to perform superbly this time in Roland Garros 2017 is Victoria Azarenka. This amazing tennis player is placed at number 49 spot in tennis around the world. However, with an entry into the quarter final of the grand Australian Open and recurring injuries, it seems that the tennis player is having a hard time lately.
Still, when we look at the performance of Azarenka in the yester years, like the semi final entry of the player in French open 2013, she can make a comeback with a higher rank and renewed health this year in Roland Garros. The player has still got some months to prepare for the top spot in the French Open 2017.
- Andy Murray will remain at the top spot
Andy Murray or Sir Andy Murray, as he was knighted in 2016 by the British Queen, is now at the number one spot in the world tennis. He did not acquire this position just like it, but worked for 11 years to attain it. The 29-year-old tennis star is now happily married and has a baby girl. The Scot knows how to persevere despite of numerous hindrances in his path.
Both Murray and Novak Djokovic, who is ranked at the second number, are miles to the lead of other tennis players in the rankings. This is why it becomes quite difficult to see any other potential slam contenders, like Stan Wawrinka, Kei Nishikori, and Milos Raonic to reach the top spot.
