Pavel Kotov vs Stan Wawrinka Prediction & Picks - ATP French Open
by Lou Aguila | in ATP French Open Picks
Former French Open champion Stanislas Wawrinka will try to advance into the third round for the first time in four years as he takes on Russia's Pavel Kotov on Court No.14 at Roland Garros in Paris, France. Wawrinka, who won the French Open men's singles trophy in 2015, hopes to recapture the magic of his title run in this current campaign. The Swiss dispatched fellow veteran Andy Murray in three sets 6-4 6-4 6-2 to punch his ticket to the second round. Meanwhile, Kotov achieved a personal best upon reaching the second round of this year's French Open. The young Russian had never played beyond the first round in his previous two campaigns in Roland Garros, even failing to secure a ticket in the main draw in the qualifying event of last year's tournament. Like Wawrinka, Kotov also had to eliminate a Brit to advance, surviving a five-set thriller against Cameron Norrie 4-6 6-3 3-6 7-6(5) 6-2.

Our Pavel Kotov vs Stan Wawrinka Prediction
Prediction: This will be the first time Wawrinka and Kotov face each other professionally. The 39-year-old Wawrinka has experience on his side in this match while Kotov will take advantage of his 25-year-old legs against the veteran. Kotov won 61.11 percent (41-26) of his matches last year. Wawrinka, on the other hand, won 41 percent (18-22). However, the numbers tell that Wawrinka may have some advantage in this matchup because he has been a better clay-court player at 67 percent win rate while Kotov is known to be a hard-court expert also at 67 percent. Bookmakers even consider Wawrinka as the underdog in this match, listing him at +115. Although the Swiss hasn't played his best tennis for quite some time, the win vs. Murray certainly gives him some momentum heading into this crucial matchup with the Russian. For that, I expect this match to go to the limit with Wawrinka taking the win. Our betting prediction for Wawrinka vs. Kotov: Bet on OVER 38.5 games (-125) at BetMGM.
