THE PLAYERS
NICOLAS JARRY
- Nicolas Jarry made some excellent last-minute preparation for Roland-Garros at the Geneva Open where he got through to the final in straight sets but ultimately lost out to Alexander Zverev.
- The 23-year-old Chilean is now 11-11 for 2019 having also made it to the quarter-final stage of the Barcelona Open back in April.
- Jarry has never faced fellow South American Juan Martin del Potro but the two share a host of similarities as both are 6”6, right-handed baseline sloggers who still reside in their place of birth.
JUAN MARTIN DEL POTRO
- Juan Martin del Potro will find heart in his performance against Novak Djokovic at the Italian Open where he took the first set off the Serb world number one in a tough contest.
- Del Potro will be playing just his eighth competitive match this year, with a 4-3 record to show for his efforts thus far after two wins in his last six.
- The Argentine world number nine is making strides to attempt to win another Grand Slam in his lifetime and reached the semi-finals of Roland-Garros last year where he lost out in straight sets to Rafael Nadal.
THE PREDICTION
It should take a player of true quality like Rafael Nadal or Novak Djokovic to put out Juan Martin del Potro who may never be at the height of his powers again but is still regarded by tennis fans as one of the best of this generation. Nicolas Jarry will prove a difficult opponent all the same, and it will be an interesting match indeed between these two giants that could go to a decider. However, injuries aside the Argentine should claim victory here.
