THE LOWDOWN
NOVAK DJOKOVIC
World number one Novak Djokovic is through to the second week of Roland-Garros without dropping a set with comprehensive victories over Yoshihito Nishioka, Alex Molcan and Aljaz Bedene. The defending champion produced a similar run last season before a scare in the round of 16, where he dropped the first two sets against Lorenzo Musetti before eventually coming through with ease. 35-year-iold Djokovic is riding an eight-match winning streak into the round of 16 after winning the Italian Open for a sixth time, including in 2020 where be beat Diego Schwartzman in the final.
DIEGO SCHWARTZMAN
World number 16 Diego Schwartzman finally put in a stellar display at Roland-Garros, totally dismissing Grigor Dimitrov in straight sets. The 29-year-old reached the semi-finals here in 20202 before defeat to Rafael Nadal and he has won just four of his 14 ATP tour finals so far having often fallen short at the last moment to a big three opponent. Schwartzman has finished runner-up at two events this season on clay, including to Carlos Alcaraz at the Rio Open.
THE PREDICTION
Diego Schwartzman is a fantastic player on this surface who always finds room to entertain crowds in some serious battles on court. However, the Argentine has a ceiling – like almost all players on tour – and on the next floor up live Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal. World number one Djokovic has never lost to the Argentine and he is unlikely to now, although Schwartzman has taken three sets from him over three meetings on clay over the years and that makes the outright pick for Djokovic sensible.
