THIAGO MONTEIRO VS MIOMIR KECMANOVIC PREDICTION
World number 86 Thiago Monteiro brings an excellent 9-3 record at tour-level into Roland-Garros after enjoying his best ever spell on his favoured clay. The 29-year-old stunned Dusan Lajovic and Stefanos Tsitsipas en-route to the third round of the Madrid Masters last month but he went a round further in Rome, upsetting Gael Monfils, Jordan Thompson and next opponent Miomir Kecmanovic before a tough exit to Zhizhen Zhang.
World number 57 Kecmanovic will be out for revenge after that three-set exit to the Brazilian but his victory over Casper Ruud the match before is proof of what he can do at his best on clay. The 24-year-old beat Monteiro in their first encounter at the Buenos Aires Open three years ago, also in three sets, and at their respective best levels on clay he has far more weapons than his opponent.
Take both players to win a set to leave this match up to chance or consider this a solid candidate for five as a one-off punt.
THIAGO MONTEIRO VS MIOMIR KECMANOVIC TIP: TOTAL 5 SETS
