Novak Djokovic is looking for his second non-calendar grand slam here in the 2019 Roland Garros, and based on the current head-to-head and the current state of the mighty Nadal, its his title to lose, as he won Madrid on the way.
He has a tough road ahead of him though. Prospective opponents include the in-form Fabio Fognini (who won Monte Carlo), Borna Coric (currently in the top 15 already) and Gilles Simon (3x in the 4R here). They are all very feisty players - so Novak should be in-form already as early as the third round, otherwise, one slip and he will lose the grand slam opportunity.
If he does get through, it looks like either del Potro (last years' SF) or Dominic Thiem (last year's losing finalist) in the SF and the mighty Rafa or the wily Tsitsipas in the finals.
