It promises to be an entertaining seventh day at the French Open with eight intriguing matches on the schedule in Paris. As always, we here at LWOT will be offering our predictions for all eight matches, including Holger Rune vs Genaro Alberto Olivieri<\/a>. But who will secure their spot in the second week in Paris?<\/p>\n

French Open Day 7 Predictions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Frances Tiafoe vs Alexander Zverev<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jack: Alexander Zverev\u2019s performance against the underrated Alex Molcan was sublime. Frances Tiafoe will need to play consistently offensive to defeat Zverev, who will be close to his defensive best. Tiafoe can play aggressively but I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll be able to repeat it enough to win three sets against last year\u2019s semifinalist.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Zverev in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh: Tiafoe isn’t amazing on clay, but he looks pretty solid here in Paris. He has newfound confidence and a good return that can throw the German off his game.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Tiafoe in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian: Tiafoe\u2019s first serve was immaculate against Karatsev and managed to save him from going down two sets to one. Zverev improved on his first-round performance massively when he routined Molcan on Thursday. It\u2019s too early to say he\u2019s already back to his best, but he might be starting to put the pieces together.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Zverev in 4<\/p>\n

Yoshihito Nishioka vs Thiago Seyboth Wild<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jack: Given his immense forehand, Thiago Seyboth Wild should be considered the favourite here. Yoshihito Nishioka will force some long rallies but the Brazilian has shown he\u2019s comfortable constructing points. There may be a dip in the 23-year-old\u2019s form but he should find a way through.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Seyboth Wild in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh: Seyboth Wild stunned Medvedev in the first round, and he hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down. This is a favourable matchup, too.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Seyboth Wild in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian: Seyboth Wild has already played a lefty and maybe that could help him. Nishioka\u2019s game isn\u2019t that effective on clay and while the Brazilian can always hit himself off the court on a bad day, these just aren\u2019t coming up at all recently. By beating Medvedev, Seyboth Wild found himself in a very open part of the draw and he should continue to take advantage.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Seyboth Wild in 4
