THE PREDICTION

World number one Carlos Alcaraz started his Roland-Garros campaign off by handing Flavio Cobolli a first-set bagel before eventually coming through a tighter third set well. The 20-year-old started his season off on clay after injury saw him miss January and that looks to have been a really sensible move as he comes into Paris with four titles and a 30-3 record, now 31-3, with just two defeats on clay to Cam Norrie in the Rio Open final, when injured, and that shock early exit to Fabian Marozsan in Rome. World number 112 Taro Daniel proved once again that he has a much higher ceiling than his deflated ranking suggests with a straight-sets dismissal of in-form Christopher O’Connell on Monday. The 30-year-old has upset the likes of Casper Ruud, Alexander Zverev and Mateo Berrettini this season but whilst he should put up more of a challenge than Cobolli, Alcaraz should be better in his follow-up match. Back the Spaniard to win this first meeting between the two in straight sets.
