Daniil Medvedev is the second seed in the tournament. Due to injury, he was out of court for the last couple of weeks.

Alexander Zverev is the third seed in the tournament. The world’s number three reached the semi-final of the Italian Open in his most recent tournament. He also played in the finals of the Madrid Open 2022 but eventually was defeated but Alcaraz there.
Rafael Nadal is the fourth seed and the favorite player for the French Open 2022. He won the Australian Open, the first grand slam of the year, and made history.
