THE PREDICTION
World number 13 David Goffin has seriously struggled with both form and fitness this season but the Belgian still managed to win a fifth title at the Open Sud de France back in February. On clay, the 30-year-old has lost three of his last five matches since a quarter-final defeat to Dan Evans at the Monte-Carlo Open and despite a significant gap in their rankings it looks like 19-year-old Lorenzo Musetti is the favourite for this first encounter. The Italian took a set off in-form Stefanos Tsitsipas just over a week ago in the semi-finals of the Lyon Open before defeat and wins over Felix Auger-Aliassime and Sebastian Korda in that campaign show for his prospects at Roland-Garros. Goffin is wholly unpredictable right now and has every chance of winning this so take this match to see over three sets, if that option is available, or for Musetti to win outright.
