Rafael Nadal snags the fourth-seeding for Roland Garros 2013

The Big Four is back in their places leading into the 2013 French Open which begins on May 26.

With an impressive win over rival Roger Federer at the Rome Masters final on Sunday, Rafael Nadal moves to world number four, overtaking compatriot David Ferrer. This means that Nadal will become fourth seed at the Roland Garros tournament. However, there’s still a chance that his seeding will increase to number three should world number two Andy Murray decide to skip this claycourt Slam due to a lower back problem.

Nadal will enter the Paris tournament with a 15-match winning streak which included three consecutive title wins in Barcelona, Madrid and Rome. The Spaniard is aiming for his eighth Roland Garros title.
