THE PREDICTION
World number three Novak Djokovic won his second Roland-Garros title two years ago, coming back from two sets down to oust Stefanos Tsitsipas after beating Rafael Nadal in four sets in the semi-finals. The Serb claimed his first at Andy Murray’s expense in 2016 to complete a career Grand Slam and he is back in Paris seeking a record-breaking 23rd major title at 36 years old, with a clean shot at the record in Nadal’s absence. Djokovic comes into Roland-Garros far from the level he would usually take into a Grand Slam but his pedigree at this level should speak for itself against most comers over five sets with the likes of rising stars Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune his only considerable threats. 24-year-old Aleksandar Kovacevic set a career-high ATP world ranking of 101st early last month after some strong work on the Challenger circuit but the 24-year-old is yet to win a match on clay on or off the tour this season. Djokovic often starts a tournament sluggishly these days but this looks a kind opener that the Serb should be coasting through in three sets.
