Roland Garros - Day 9

Altmaier D. vs. Tsitsipas S.
Both players excel on these courts, enjoying a powerful serve and follow-up forehand game. Tsitsipas had a tough first-round match against Fucsovics, who exposed the Greek's one-handed backhand weakness. Altmaier might exploit this, using his high, deep forehand. Tsitsipas is favored, but a tiebreak or even a set for the German is possible.

Bergs Z. vs. Marterer M.
Both players fought hard to win their first-round matches. Bergs favors an out-wide serve followed by an advancing forehand, while Marterer uses varied shots and slices. This should be a tight match, potentially going to five sets with Marterer winning.

Cerundolo F. vs. Misolic F.
Cerundolo showed consistency in his three-set win against Hanfmann, especially with his forehand. Misolic relies on opponent errors but tends to make many mistakes himself. After a long five-set first-round match, Misolic might struggle physically. Cerundolo is expected to win comfortably.

Fognini F. vs. Paul T.
Fognini is experienced on these courts, adept at varying shots and keeping opponents running. Paul, while good on clay, prefers faster courts and might struggle with the longer rallies. It could be a tight match with Fognini potentially prevailing if Paul's serve falters.

Hurkacz H. vs. Nakashima B.
Hurkacz struggled with the slow surface in his first-round match, making many errors, especially on his forehand. With more experience, he should play better, but Nakashima, who plays well on these courts, might trouble him. The match could be close, with Hurkacz ultimately winning.

Kecmanovic M. vs. Medvedev D.
Medvedev struggles on slow courts, often failing to respond deeply and serve solidly. Kecmanovic moves well and forces opponents to cover a lot of ground. Expect many long rallies and breaks. Medvedev is likely to win, but Kecmanovic might take a set.

Korda S. vs. Kwon S.
Korda has adapted well to the slow surface, showing strong baseline play, especially with his backhand. Kwon is also solid, able to extend rallies. Despite Kwon’s ability to handle long rallies, Korda is favored to win.

Kotov P. vs. Wawrinka S.
Kotov is solid from the baseline, alternating between flat and powerful forehands. Wawrinka excels on slow courts with his variety and powerful backhand. The match will be competitive, but Wawrinka is expected to prevail.

Maroszan F. vs. Dimitrov G.
Both players prefer faster surfaces. Maroszan has improved recently, especially with his backhand variations. Dimitrov struggled in the first set of his first-round match but then dominated. This could be a close match, with Dimitrov possibly winning in four or five sets.

Monfils G. vs. Musetti L.
Monfils, the home favorite, is in great form, while Musetti impressed in his first appearance. Both play varied and powerful tennis. Monfils, buoyed by the crowd, could edge out Musetti in a tight match.

Moutet C. vs. Shevchenko A.
Moutet, the crowd favorite, showed his talent by defeating Jarry. Shevchenko, after a five-set battle, might struggle, especially with his low first-serve percentage. This match could go to four sets, with Moutet slightly favored.

Muller A. vs. Arnaldi M.
Both players are solid on these courts. The match might be determined by their strengths: Muller’s forehand and Arnaldi’s backhand. Arnaldi's versatility and physicality give him a slight edge.

Ofner S. vs. Baez S.
Ofner relies on power, particularly his serve and forehand, but struggles with movement. Baez is quick and uses a lot of variety. Baez has a slight advantage due to his agility and ability to exploit Ofner’s weaknesses.

Rublev A. vs. Martinez P.
Rublev adapted well to the surface in his first match, despite struggling with spinless returns. Martinez excels at returning and varying his shots, which could trouble Rublev. Rublev is favored but might drop a set.

Shapovalov D. vs. Tiafoe F.
Both prefer faster courts, with Shapovalov playing aggressively and taking risks. Tiafoe will try to disrupt Shapovalov’s rhythm with varied shots. It could be a close match, with Shapovalov having a slight edge.

Shelton B. vs. Nishikori K.
Shelton uses his powerful serve and aggressive play, while Nishikori relies on experience and variety, especially with his backhand. Shelton might win, but Nishikori could take a set.

Sonego L. vs. Zhang Z.
Sonego, coming off a tough first-round win, is slightly favored. Zhang is solid, especially with his forehand. It could be a close match, potentially going to four sets with Sonego winning.

Gasquet R. vs. Sinner J.
Both play well on various surfaces. Gasquet, likely in his last French Open, will try to vary his shots against Sinner, who will aim for long rallies. Sinner is favored but might drop a set to the home favorite.
