He minced no words in stating his opinion.
Tennis fans all over the planet are looking forward to Roland Garros, and what intrigues them the most is the answer to the question of who will lift the Musketeers' Trophy - Novak Djoković or Rafael Nadal?
Despite the contradictory views he expressed earlier about Nole, the Swede Mats Wilander expressed his belief that the Serbian ace will triumph in Paris, which would be his 21st Grand Slam title.
The winner of seven "slams" is convinced that the main advantage of the Serbs is great motivation, after the events surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic, with the fact that he has a lot of time to prepare a plan for France.
- Novak rested his head and body and will be incredibly motivated. Now he had time to make a perfect plan to start Roland Garros and Wimbledon as ready as possible. Of course he would like to be able to play more matches, but if he plays three more tournaments, he will have a total of fifteen matches and in that case I think he will be the favorite in Paris. I think he needs to gain some confidence before the French Open - Wilander stated, and then commented on Rafa's condition.

- Nadal is absent due to injury and will not be ideally prepared for Roland Garros. Will he be able to train at full strength? That is the main issue, it will be very tense - Mats Wilander underlined.
As a reminder, Djoković was denied the right to perform at the Australian Open, and he will defend the cup at Roland Garros, which starts in the second half of May.
