Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer have dominated discussions about who will be the potential champion at this year’s French Open, but could Novak Djokovic upstage the world’s top two players and walk away as king of Roland Garros?

To do so, the world No. 3 would need to find a way past the defending champion, Federer, a man who collects Grand Slam titles with frightening regularity. In Nadal, Djokovic would need to brush aside a man whose destiny could be to be known as the greatest clay-court player of all time, a man who has lifted the Coupe des Mousquetaires four times in his career so far.

Chances are the 22-year-old would have to fight past both in consecutive matches – the semi-final and the final – if he’s to claim a second Grand Slam title. While Juan Martin del Potro showed that defeating both Federer and Nadal at the same major was possible when he recorded wins over both men on his way to the US Open crown last year, he’s the only player to have defeated both at the same Grand Slam.
