THE PREDICTION

World number nine Felix Auger-Aliassime has reached the quarter-finals in each of his last four tournaments, most recently losing to Novak Djokovic in a well-contested straight-sets defeat at the Italian Open. The 21-year-old won his first ATP title at the Rotterdam Open earlier this season but then lost a ninth final a week later to Andrey Rublev at the Open 13. Auger-Aliassime reached the semi-finals of the US Open last season but he is yet to win a match at Roland-Garros, with two first round exits so far.

World number 122 Juan Pablo Varillas qualified well to reach the main draw of a Grand Slam for the first time. The Peruvian is facing the most important match of his career at 26 years old and that will be a real force for Auger-Aliassime to combat on Sunday. The Canadian should be winning this in straight sets but the sensible move for an accumulator would be the outright pick.
