Currently ranked number five on earth, Rafael Nadalas seeding at the future Roland Garros 2013 contest may be upgraded to at least number four, that's, if the recommendation of French Open board member and former French Davis Cup captain Guy Forget is accepted. In an interview with Reuters, Forget said that the event should consider giving an increased seeding for Nadal considering that he has won an archive 7 French Open titles. Nadal trailed fourth-ranked David Ferrer in the ranks and it's impossible he can surpass his compatriot over time for the French Open. The 11-time Grand Slam champion has 1,590 points to defend before the claycourt Slam while Ferrer needs to defend 830 points. If the initial ratings hold, Nadal could fulfill top-ranked Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals. aSince we can see them meeting in the finals of the greatest events in the following days, it would be a pity to possess them [meet] in a in Roland Garros,a Forget said. aThe principles state the Grand Slam events have the to change the seeding regarding the condition of the participants. Wimbledon did that previously. I'd perhaps not believe it is unreasonable to improve the seeds,a he added.
