Richard Gasquet vs Borna Ćorić Prediction & Picks - ATP French Open

Prediction published on 5/26/24, 5:59 AM  by Lou Aguila in ATP French Open Picks

Frenchman Richard Gasquet looks to turn back the hands of time as he takes on Croatia’s Borna Coric at Court Suzanne Lenglen in Roland Garros, Paris, France. The 37-year-old Gasquet, who reached the quarterfinals of the French Open in 2016, will have to dig deep into his bag of trick to overcome Coric, who is 10-years of his junior. Gasquet bombed out of last year’s French Open after losing to countryman Arthur Rinderknech, 4-6, 6-2, 2-6, 6-7. Meanwhile, Coric reached the third round of the French Open for the fifth time of his career after toppling Argentina’s Federico Coria 7-5, 6-7, 6-3, 6-3 and Pedro Cachin 6-3, 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Coric attempted to eliminate another Argentine for the third straight round but bowed to Tomás Martín Etcheverry in straight sets, 3-6, 6-7, 2-6. Gasquet opened his clay court campaign with a quarterfinal stint at the Estoril Open. He competed in the ATP Masters Events such as the Italian Open and Madrid Open but failed to go beyond the second round in these events. Coric, on the other hand, was a finalist in this year’s Open Sud de France in Montpellier, France. He participated in all four clay-court ATP Master 1000 tournaments (Barcelona, Madrid, Italy and Monte Carlo), but only reached the second round in three of the four tournaments.
