VALENTIN VACHEROT VS ALEJANDRO DAVIDOVICH FOKINA PREDICTION
25-year-old Valentin Vacherot qualified twice came back from sets down to earn his Grand Slam debut the hard way here at Roland-Garros. The Monegasque number one will enjoy a home-from-home support in this terribly tough opening draw against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, whose recent poor form on tour made him one of the higher-quality players unseeded this fortnight.
24-year-old ADF brings a concerning 1-4 record on is favoured clay into Paris but the Spaniard has a history of blowing hot and cold and a run to the quarter-finals here back in 2021 is proof of what he can do in these conditions.
Backing Davidovich Fokina to win outright is the suitably cautious call for a potential coupon buster here but in that case consider a one-off on in-form Valentin Vacherot, who set a career-high ATP world ranking of 116th this week, to earn at least a set. Always keep matches involving ADF far from any promising accumulators.
