Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will not meet until the final, because Novak Djokovic is seeded number 1 and Nadal the second, after the absences of Medvedev, by boycott, and Alexander Zverev by injury.

On the other hand, the Canadian tennis player will measure himself against the American Cressy in the Grand Slam, that is to say against the number 60.
Canadian tennis player not very comfortable on grass
Auger Aliasime has played two tournaments on grass, in both tournaments he was eliminated by supposedly inferior opponents. In the first match of the exhibition he was defeated by No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
In the last grand slam he played, the Canadian tennis player was eliminated by the number 2, Medvedev in the quarterfinals. Auger Aliassame has already won in this 2022 the ATP of Rotterdam and was on the verge of winning the ATP of Marseille. In Indian Wells and Miami he did not have good participations, being eliminated in both tournaments in the first round. In the last tournament he played, he was eliminated by the number 1 in the quarterfinals of the Rome ATP. At Roland Garros he reached the round of 16 where he was eliminated by Nadal. He has already played in this 2022 two grass court tournaments, in the first one he was eliminated in the semifinals and in the Halle ATP in the quarterfinals. In his first match at the Hurlingham Exhibition he was beaten by the world No. 1, Novak Djokovic.
Only three defeats in this 2022 for Rafael Nadal has managed to win four 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 Miami ATP he lost in the final against Fritz, so he returns to compete more than a month after having to be on leave due to an injury. After 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 quarterfinal round. 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. Despite his doubts, he again showed his grit to win his 14th Roland Garros. In the first match on grass three years later at the Hurlingham exhibition, he has overcome Wawrinka
These two tennis players have met twice in their sporting careers, with a favorable balance for Rafael Nadal who has won in the two únicos confrontations. The first time they met was in 2019 in the last 32 at the Madrid Open where the Spaniard won by a double 6-3. In the último Grand Slam, Roland Garros were seen in a tireless five-set match where the victory was taken by Nadal after 4 hours and 23 minutes
