THE PREDICTION
27-year-old Karen Khachanov comes into Roland-Garros just three places behind his career-high ATP world ranking of eighth set in 2019 off the back of his most recent, and most prestigious, title claimed in this very city at the 2018 Paris Masters. After a few years in the relative wilderness Khachanov has reached the semi-finals in two of his last three Grand Slam campaigns, losing to eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz at the US Open last September and to runner-up Stefanos Tsitsipas at the Australian Open in January. Khachanov reached the quarter-finals here back in 2019 and he has a strong record overall at Roland-Garros, reaching the second week in five of his six appearances so far. 30-year-old Constant Lestienne broke the top 50 earlier this season but he has fallen back to world number 69 on a woeful nine-match losing streak that shows no sign of letting up. The Frenchman has retired from each of his last two matches on tour to suggest this one is worth leaving out of an accumulator but otherwise back Khachanov to win in straight sets, with home advantage unlikely to inspire much change.
