The 2022 French Open bracket, full draw, and seedings for Roland-Garros

The French Open, the second Grand Slam of 2022, is currently underway in Paris.

The men’s bracket will feature defending champion Novak Djokovic and 13-time winner Rafael Nadal, who won a record 21st major singles championship in Australia in January. However, emerging star Carlos Alcaraz could be the one to watch.

Because of the draw, Djokovic and Nadal might meet in the quarterfinals if their respective results go as expected.

Barbora Krejcikova, the defending champion, has already been eliminated by 97th-ranked Diane Parry in the women’s draw. Still, it’s difficult to ignore Iga Swiatek, the world number one and 2020 Roland-Garros winner, who is on an incredible 28-match winning streak and won the title in Rome earlier this month.

The singles draws for the tournament will have 128 men and 128 women. At the French Open, there are 104 direct entry, 16 qualifiers, and eight wild cards in both singles draws.

The draw produced a number of great matchups in 2021, and many more are likely this year.

The French Open draw, like every other major tennis tournament, is strongly influenced by seedings.

In the singles competitions, a total of 32 players are seeded, with the subsequent draw done in such a way that the greatest players do not play each other until late in the tournament. The top two seeds, for example, are drawn in opposite portions of the draw, which means they will only play each other if they both make it to the final.

Higher seeds are frequently given friendlier draws, with Djokovic not meeting a seeded opponent until the quarter-finals in 2021.
