Prediction
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will now face Alex Molcan of Slovakia in the second round of the Roland Garros tournament.
The No. 1 ATP player, Djokovic began his tennis 2022 season in Dubai but it didn’t go well as he was eliminated early in the quarterfinals. Due to the necessary vaccine restrictions, his participation in the tournaments this year was hindered. The player subsequently appeared to regain his form at home, reaching the final of the Serbia Open, where he was defeated by Andrey Rublev of Russia. After that, he advanced to the semifinals of the Madrid Open, where he was defeated by eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz. After overcoming Stefanos Tsitsipas in Italy, the Serb finally claimed his first title of the season so far.
On the other hand, Molcan recently, in his last tournament reached the final of the Lyon Open where he was defeated by Cameron Norrie. He was also the finalist at Grand Prix Hassan II before losing to David Goffin. These were his best results of the season so far, followed by several early departures.
The pick of the match is Djokovic as he got his form back at the very right moment just before the Roland Garros kicked off. The newly turned 35-year-old is on his way to defend his French Open title which he won last year defeating Stefanos Tsitsipas.
His string serves and powerful shots would ballot be easy to handle for anyone as he is a top favourite at the tournament.
