For his return to the Parisian clay after four years of absence, Roger Federer could face in the quarter-finals the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas, 6th in the world and scorer of Rafael Nadal in Madrid, after the draw on Thursday.
The Swiss, who inherited a first round a priori largely within his reach, should not cross heavyweight before this stage of the quarter-finals.
If the logic of the ranking is respected, he could then face a formidable player, Stefanos Tsitsipas, recent finalist in Madrid, a tournament where the Greek had beaten Rafael Nadal in the semifinals.
The Greek then lost a few days later against the Spaniard in the semifinal in Rome.
Roger Federer had given up his quarterfinal in Rome, touching a thigh. But the Swiss Grand Slam 20 has trained normally since Tuesday.
