The player from the Netherlands already played the first Grand Slam of 2022, but was eliminated in the round of 32 by Medvedev. His best participation this year was at the Berlin tournament where he had to retire in the final in his clash against Rune. Van de Zandschlup has already defeated Kotov in the Roland Garros in four sets in the first round, in the second round he played against Fognini, but the Italian disputed the third set.

Only three defeats in this 2022 for Rafael Nadal has managed to win three titles this year, first the Melbourne ATP, then and the most heroic, the Australian Open, after a final that will be remembered after the Spanish tennis player's comeback to Medvedev. He also disputed the Acapulco ATP, held in Mexico, where on February 27 he defeated Norrie in the final by a double 6-4 to win the title. In the last tournament that Nadal played, which was the ATP Miami fell in the final against Fritz, so he returns to compete more than a month after having to be off for an injury. At the Madrid Open, playing at home and with good sensations, he tried to win the title, but his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz left him out in the quarterfinals. Before playing the Grand Slam he defended the crown at the ATP Rome but the discomfort in the round of 16 against Shapavalov deprived him of advancing in the Italian tournament despite winning the first set with 6-1. In the first round at Roland Garros he defeated the Australian Thompson in three sets and without any difficulty, nor did he have any difficulty in the second round against Moutet.
