FILIP MISOLIC VS OTTO VIRTANEN PREDICTION
World number 243 Filip Misolic is at his best on clay and he played like it in qualifying, upsetting Quentin Halys in three sets to make his Grand Slam debut at Roland-Garros. The 22-year-old will have to recalibrate quickly here after Otto Virtanen pulled out of their fixture last-minute, with lucky loser Otto Virtanen likely to enjoy some second-wind momentum.
World number 156 Otto Virtanen, also 22, was the player to halt Dominic Thiem’s attempts at one last Roland-Garros campaign with victory in the second round of qualifying and it could be that the stress of that cost him in defeat to Giulio Zeppieri on Thursday.
The Finn will be eager to bounce back on house money here but this first meeting between two hungry qualifiers looks likely to see four or even five sets. Back both players to win a set to leave the result up to chance.
FILIP MISOLIC VS OTTO VIRTANEN TIP: BOTH PLAYERS TO WIN A SET
