The magic of tennis on clay courts will flood our screens, minds, and hearts for the next two months. A short and tremendously intense tour promises strong emotions and guarantees some surprises from players expected to watch their level grow exponentially on the clay. Let's review who the standout players are.

Three Masters 1000 events, three ATP 500 (two of them concurrently), and a Grand Slam like Roland Garros 2025. Those will be the appointments on clay courts for the world's best, aware that they will have to face looming dangers in the form of accomplished specialists on this surface. Despite the tennis homogenization process advancing rapidly, clay courts still change some dynamics, demanding an extra physical and tactical level, and rewarding players with technical variations that adapt well to this context. Some of them seem destined to push their limits and be a headache for the best.

- Four players within the top 30 seem destined for great success on clay

While it is true that the names of Tsitsipas and Ruud are immediately associated with this surface, we will not include them here as they already have a very high profile and are in a different league. One could be considered an outsider, Holger Rune, a player whose level on clay reaches very high peaks and who only needs some maturity and tactical intelligence to become a truly formidable player here.

Then, two players already in the top 20 convey the feeling of being able to achieve many victories in these months and aim for important things, such as Arthur Fils and Lorenzo Musetti. It is still unknown where the limit is for both young players, but their potential on clay is truly high. With a bit more experience, Francisco Cerúndolo emerges, a man who has been knocking on the door of the Roland Garros quarterfinals for years, a success that seems unavoidable in his career and increasingly closer, as are others he may achieve.

One cannot overlook what Alejandro Davidovich might be capable of. Although his performance in the Sunshine Double has somewhat halted, after a very promising February for his interests, on clay courts, the Spaniard has experienced great moments in his career and can put up a tough fight in this tour.

- Italy, Argentina, and Spain are the nations whose tennis players can be most enhanced on this clay tour

From there, it must be noted that two countries may emerge as the biggest protagonists in these months: Italy and Argentina. There are high expectations regarding the return to peak form of Flavio Cobolli, a young player in clear development who has lost momentum due to physical problems but now seems fully recovered and ready to achieve notable successes. It will also be interesting to see if Matteo Berrettini continues to progress in his quest to reclaim a top position in the rankings, where he belongs due to his tennis quality. As for the South Americans, Sebastián Báez and Mariano Navone could make a lot of noise.

A special mention goes to Joao Fonseca. It seems only a matter of time before this young Brazilian firmly vies for glory wherever he goes, and this tour on clay courts is a good opportunity to keep progressing. Starting in Madrid may diminish some expectations, but his potential is so impressive that it wouldn't be surprising to see him eliminate some of the world's best players and achieve results more fitting of his future than his present. In conclusion, many uncertainties to be resolved in this clay tour, with Roland Garros 2025 on the horizon.
