He made ten aces and one double fault, winning 82% of points on the first serve and 64% on the second. Reception stats: 33%/59%, winners/unforced errors 41/22.

Marton Fucsovics

For Fucsovics, Roland Garros is his sixth clay tournament in 2023. Before Paris, he competed in Monte Carlo, Munich, Madrid, Rome, and Lyon. The most successful was the Roman Masters, where he reached the last 32 but lost in two sets to Norrie. In the last 132 of RG, Fucsovics defeated Grenier, No. 122, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3.

Expert Betting Tips

Djokovic did not look his best before Roland Garros, but something tells us he will show his tonus in Paris. Earlier, it was tough to win the RG because of Nadal, but now the Spaniard is no longer the same, and the chances of winning have increased. Alcaraz, Ruud, and Rune grew up, Medvedev notably improved on the ground, but they're far from Nadal at the peak of his form. This tournament is a chance for Novak to retake the title, so he needs to save his resources. In addition, Fucsovics is familiar with Djokovic, losing to him four times in his career. No doubt, he will beat him for the fifth time.
