THE PREDICTION
Both world number 71 Zhizhen Zhang and number 53 Dusan Lajovic have recently found excellent form on clay to suggest this will be a thrilling first round clash on Monday. 26-year-old Zhang upset Denis Shapovalov, Cam Norrie and Taylor Fritz en-route to the quarter-finals of the Madrid Masters earlier this month but he takes a three-match losing streak into the first round of Roland-Garros after Aslan Karatsev ousted him in straight sets. 32-year-old Lajovic also brings a three-match losings streak after defeat to eventual runner-up Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round in Madrid but the Serb stunned Novak Djokovic en-route to the Banja Luka Open title last month, his second ATP title on clay. Lajovic’s three top 10 wins on clay eclipse Zhang’s recent exploits but sets look likely to goth ways here and this match looks a reasonable candidate for a five-set punt. Otherwise, back Lajovic to earn at least two with the greater experience at this level.
