Jesper De Jong vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction & Picks - ATP French Open
by Edgar Jibran | in ATP French Open Picks
The first round of Roland Garros showed the whole world that Carlos Alcaraz is back to fight for the championship after sweeping J.J. Wolf in three straight sets (1-6, 2-6, 1-6), so the challenge for next Wednesday, May 29th will be to try to mantain that impressive level against Jesper De Jong, a young Dutch player who comes from the Qualifiers with a great illusion to demonstrate his capabilities against one of the best tennis players in the world as Alcaraz.
With this in mind, it’s worth noting that De Jong won his 3 qualifying round matches in 2 straight sets, and even when he was underdog to win his first-round match against Jack Draper, he pushed the British to the limit in a 4 hour and 12 minutes match that was absolutely complex for De Jong, who wasn’t able to close it out early after winning the two first sets (5-7, 4-6).
On the other hand, Carlos Alcaraz made his triumphant return during the first round of Roland Garros after almost a month away from the activity due to an injury but dominated the match against Wolf in almost 2 hours to finally win it in three straight sets. However, he committed 20 unforced errors, a number that isn’t close for a player that wants to compete for the title.
