Prediction published on 01/06/2023, 07:56  by Nella Wagah in Tennis Predictions

Stefanos Tsitsipas will go head to head with Diego Schwartzman on Friday in the third round at the French Open. Schwartzman overcame the challenge of Nuno Borges in the second round, winning the tie in straight sets. After beating Bernabe Zapata Miralles in five sets in the opening round, Schwartzman is on seven wins for the season. This still has him with a losing record as he has lost 16 matches with 11 coming on clay. His struggles this season have precipitated his falling out of the top 100. Despite his two wins in Paris, he has dropped down 10 further places to 105th in the live ranking. His plummet down the rankings could continue in this round as he meets a player he has struggled against. Schwartzman has lost four of the six matches he has contested against Tsitsipas.

Stefanos Tsitsipas has won the last three matches between him and Schwartzman. He has also beaten the Argentine twice on clay. This will have him confident of advancing to the second week of competition for the fifth successive season. The Greek defeated Roberto Carballes Baena in straight sets in the previous round to earn his 23rd victory in 29 matches at Roland Garros. The win moved him up one place to fourth in the live ranking. Tsitsipas is a former finalist here. And having played two finals already this season, including his first at the Australian Open, will be confident of another final in Paris. The outcome of this match will see the victor set up a fourth-round battle with either Sebastian Ofner or Fabio Fognini.
