Nothing seems familiar at the Roland Garros this year, except the men’s defending champion, a certain Rafael Nadal who has won the title 12 times.The time slot is new, rescheduled to late September from May due to the coronavirus pandemic. This means the weather will be different, with autumn chill and rain altering the playing conditions.

The main court has a roof this year, which means rain will not always stop all matches. The official balls have been changed from Babolat to Wilson, a move that has prompted largely negative reactions from players for further slowing the conditions.But do these slew of changes mean that the essence of French Open 2020 will change? It will be the final Grand Slam of the season, played with restrictions and just 1000 spectators allowed per day but the winner still has seven rounds to win on the grinding red clay.

When it comes to the players too, there is yet another slight but imperceptible change. The top contenders are Nadal and top seed Simona Halep, both who opted to skip the US Open. That didn’t stop Halep from lifting the title at the Italian Open, the main tune-up event for Roland Garros but for once Nadal comes to his kingdom severely under-prepared.In some ways, Nadal doesn’t enter the French Open this year as an overwhelming favourite.

The three-time defending champion has played just three matches since February, a rustiness that was evident in his quarter-final exit in Rome, where he lost to Diego Schwartzman in straight sets. The 34-year-old has never won the French Open without lifting a clay court trophy in the year, a streak broken in the unprecedented year 2020 is.Since his title-winning debut in 2005, the Spaniard has only lost twice at Roland Garros in 95 matches – to Robin Soderling in 2009 and Djokovic in 2015. The last time he suffered such an early departure from the Italian capital was in 2017 – just weeks later he was lifting a 10th French Open without dropping a set.

However, there will be more challenges on his path to get to lucky No 13, the playing conditions and draw being major ones.“You have a slower court, slower balls, heavier conditions over all. Rafa doesn’t like that. He likes a sunny, dry day and a high bounce,” Martina Navratilova was quoted as saying. Nadal himself has heavily criticised the balls for slowing things down.

With so many unfamiliar obstacles in the way, will the French Open still have the familiar winner at the end of it? One win away from equalling Roger Federer’s record 20 Majors, there will be no better place or occasion to reach the landmark than his personal bullring in Paris.On the other hand, top seed Novak Djokovic comes in to Roland Garros as the man to beat. Having broken the Masters record weeks after his dramatic heartbreak at US Open, he reminded everyone that he is one of the strongest players on clay in this generation dominated by Nadal.

The only man to beat Djokovic in 2020 so far is Djokovic after a moment of anger prompted a sensational disqualification from the US Open. The 33-year-old arrives in the French capital with a 31-1 record this year and the way he bounced back after New York is proof of his unmatched mental strength and hunger to be the best.

The conditions could well suit newly-crowned US Open winner, who has lost the last two finals to Nadal. The world No 1 has 17 career titles with 10 of those on clay and has beaten both Nadal (4) and Djokovic (3) on his favourite surface. He may have shed the clay grinder tag with hard-court success but the red dirt remains his most successful surface and he should have little difficulty adapting physically.

This year though, Thiem will be in the same half as Nadal and has a rougher draw than most. If he can positively channel his biggest career-high despite the many trips in the five-set, he should have a mental edge as well. “Cold Weather”: Serena Williams Uncomfortable With Playing Conditions of French Open 2020
