THE PREDICTION
Former world number six Gilles Simon pulled off one of the upsets of the round on Tuesday with a five-set victory over the 16th seed Pablo Carreno Busta. The 37-year-old is playing his final Roland-Garros after announcing he will retire at the end of the season and he gave a raucous French crowd something to celebrate yesterday, taking the first two sets and the decider against a recently get-at-able PCB. All the same, Simon fare a solid chance at building on this momentum with a kind draw against world number 92 Steve Johnson. The 32-year-old came back from a set down to beat Jiri Vesely on Tuesday in impressive fashion but this occasion is likely to pull heavily in Simon’s favour – especially if the organisers gift the veteran one of the two show courts. Back Simon to win outright here, or cautiously to win at least two sets.
