If he plays at the end of this month, the current world No. 5 seeding saw Nadal land in Novak Djokovic's quarter of the draw. He's been seeded inside the Top 4 on all but two occasions at the Paris major, including in 2022 when his No. Last year, the left-hander triumphed for a record-extending 14th time on Court Philippe Chatrier when he dismissed Casper Ruud in the final. Nadal has never previously arrived in Paris for the French Open without any European clay-court tournaments under his belt in the lead up to the season’s second major. “The recovery process has its own schedule and I have no choice but to accept it and continue working. “Despite having noticed an improvement in recent days, spent many months without having been able to train at a high level,” continued Nadal. He's been spotted practicing in recent days, though the sessions weren't at a desired intensity. On March 20, Nadal dropped outside of the Top 10 for the first time since entering the elite group on April 25, 2005, an improable stretch of 912 successive weeks.
