Tommy Paul vs Zachary Svajda prediction
Tommy Paul looked on course for the round-of-16 at Roland Garros as he went two sets up against Casper Ruud, but despite holding two match points in the fourth set, Ruud would come back to win in five. The American now turns his attention to the grass court season, and he is a former champion at Queen’s Club, having won the event following a win over Lorenzo Musetti in the 2024 final.
He will face lucky loser Zachary Svajda in the first-round. Svajda was unable to enter the main draw as a qualifier, but he showed his quality at the French Open as he advanced to the round-of-16 at a major for the first time in his career. His run came to an end against Flavio Cobolli in four sets.
Paul will be expected to come through this opening test, and a victory here could provide the platform for a deep run towards a second title at the event.
