THE PREDICTION

World number 25 Nikoloz Basilashvili can be a fierce opponent on clay when he finds some rhythm but the 30-year-old is less frequently able to do so these days. The Georgian won the most recent of his five ATP titles at last season’s Munich Open on clay but his best run at Roland-Garros came in 2017 when he took just one game in a three-set dismissal by Rafael Nadal. World number 63 Maxime Cressy started this season off in the form of his career and he also lost to Nadal in his first tour final at Melbourne 1 back in January. The serve-and-volley throwback has the game to frustrate Basilashvili here but over five sets the 22nd seed should have enough room to win this opener. Basilashvili beat Cressy in straight sets at last season’s US Open but back him outright here.
