Jannik Sinner Preview

Jannik Sinner is the top seed and kicked off the tournament with a straight-sets win against France’s Arthur Rinderknech during Monday’s night session. Playing in only his third tournament of the season, Sinner won a tight first set 6-4 with a late break of serve in the 10th game.

In the second set, Sinner secured a break of serve to lead 3-1 and didn’t flinch on serve before closing it out 6-3. Rinderknech did his best to give the home crowd something to cheer about for the night, with a couple of breaks to take a commanding 4-0 lead. But it was Sinner who finished the set and the match on a flourish, winning seven of the next eight games. Sinner improves to 13-1 for the season. He has reached two finals in both tournaments he’s played this year. Sinner’s best result at Roland Garros was reaching the semifinal last season.

Richard Gasquet Preview

Richard Gasquet is a wild card entrant in this year’s French Open. He is ranked 166th in the ATP rankings. Gasquet is playing the final tournament of his professional career after announcing his retirement plans since last season. But he made sure the first-round match against Terence Atmane wasn’t his last. Gasquet rolled back the years to beat his countryman in four sets in two hours and 20 minutes.

The two players exchanged the first two sets, but Gasquet took full control of the match in the third set when he won three games in a row from 3-3. Gasquet dispatched Atmane in a fourth-set bagel, breaking serve three times, although it took him six match points. Gasquet has a 3-2 clay-court record this season and it looks likely he will lose for a third time.

Jannik Sinner vs Richard Gasquet Prediction

This should be a straightforward victory for Sinner and it’s by how many games the match will be decided that will be of interest here. Sinner is a buzzsaw on tour, overwhelming opponents with pace and precision that few can match. Gasquet will have fleeting moments where he’ll wow the crowd with that elegant one-hander. But he’s 38 and clearly running on fumes and it’s asking a lot from him to make this one competitive against a man at the peak of his powers. Sinner’s relentless pace will just be too much for the departing Frenchman.
