THE PREDICTION
This match looks a solid candidate for five sets between two players who love a scrap on court. The first meeting between world number 34 Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Botic van de Zandschulp went to five sets at this stage of Roland-Garros in 2021 in what proved to be the making of the Dutchman at this level as he went on to reach the quarter-finals at the US Open with the confidence to out-last his opponents in the five-set format. It took five sets to overcome Zhizhen Zhang on Thursday but the 27-year-old will be relieved to have snapped a six-match losing streak on tour since a heart-breaking defeat to Holger Rune at the Munich Open in April and he should be better for it in this second round clash. 24-year-old Davidovich Fokina beat Arthur Fils in the first round of a Grand Slam for the second major running after also ousting the youngster at Roland-Garros and he is also a player capable of finding his best level at the most prestigious events, with his performance against Novak Djokovic in Paris still fresh in the memory. Consider a one-off on this match to see five sets but otherwise back ADF, who leads their head-to-head 2-1, to earn at least two of them.
