Carlos Alcaraz arrives at Roland Garros brimming with confidence after taking down chief rival Jannik Sinner in Rome, but the defending champion expects the Italian to be an even tougher proposition after shaking off the rust following his doping ban.

Sinner called Alcaraz "the man to beat", but Alexander Zverev is among the title contenders, too, after falling just short in last year's final. Zverev lost to Sinner in the Australian Open final, but does have a clay trophy under his belt this season after winning in Munich.

Carlos Alcaraz is clearly the favorite for the French Open. Top-ranked Jannik Sinner is back from his doping ban though and building himself back up to full strength day by day.
