Novak Djokovic, the current No. 1, will surrender his spot to Carlos Alcaraz and will drop to No. 3 after failing to defend his title in Rome.More importantly, this means Medvedev will be seeded second at the French Open, while Alcaraz and Djokovic will be in the same half of the draw and could meet in the semifinals. The Russian, on the other hand, will safely avoid both of the Roland Garros favorites until the final at least.Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas, both of whom reached the semifinals of the Italian Open, will complete the top 5 seeds in Paris during this edition.
