French Open First Week Recap

He plays Lorenzo Musetti on Saturday in what will be his toughest test of the tournament. Musetti is through to the third round after straight set victories against Daniel Galan and Gael Monfils.

Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, the second and third seeds, are also into the third round with relative ease.

Sinner beat Christopher Eubanks and Richard Gasquet in straight sets and took on Pavel Kotov in the third round, while Alcaraz beat J.J. Wolf in three sets and Jesper de Jong 6-3, 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. He takes on Sebastian Korda in the third round. 

Among the other Top-15 seeds

Medvedev beat Dominik Koepfer in four sets and then Miomir Kecmanovic via walkover after he retired in the second set.

Rublev beat Taro Daniel and Pedro Martinez, while Ruud survived a five-set scare in the second round, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina 7-6 5, 1-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. 

French Open Potential Upsets in the Next Round

Auger-Aliassime, a former top-10 player now ranked No. 21, has been playing a little better this year after struggling in the last two seasons – he is 19-12 overall and 11-4 on clay – but Shelton is the higher-ranked player at No. 15 and has also been solid this season.

Shelton is 19-10 overall and 8-3 on clay this season. He has never played Auger-Aliassime, has been on court for less time, and has had recent grand slam success, reaching the semi-finals of the 2023 US Open. It should be a tight match, but one that Shelton could very well win in four or five sets.

Korda vs Alcaraz

That may or may not happen, but Alcaraz is a prime candidate for a major upset. The two-time grand slam winner had been dealing with a forearm injury in the weeks prior to Roland Garros and looked a little shaky at times in his second-round victory over de Jong.

He’s a massive betting favorite against Machac, but Machac has been playing just as good as Medvedev as of late and is playing with supreme confidence after beating Djokovic in Geneva last week.

Machac responded beautifully in his second-round match against Navone, winning the fifth set 6-1 after dropping the two prior sets. Medvedev should be well rested after having to only play parts of two sets against Kecmanovic. He’s 1-0 in his career against Machac, but has never played him on clay. 

Holger Rune vs. Jozef Kovalik

It seems at every grand slam there’s always one player who makes an unexpected run deep into the tournament and Kovalik fits the bill at Roland Garros. The top 15 seeds all advanced through the first two rounds and we could be in for a shake-up on Saturday. Rune has been poised for grand slam success in the last two years but he has yet to break through and is coming off a difficult five-set victory on Thursday.
