The first round of the 2024 French Open continues on Monday, Day 2 of the event. There are 24 men’s singles matches scheduled, and–as always–we here at LastWordOnTennis share our thoughts on all of them. We split the 24 matches between six articles. Our other five articles feature Rafael Nadal vs Alexander Zverev<\/a>, Gael Monfils vs Thiago Seyboth Wild<\/a>, Ben Shelton vs Hugo Gaston<\/a>, Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Marton Fucsovics<\/a>, and Daniil Medvedev vs Dominik Koepfer<\/a>. Predicting today’s matches are Jordan Reynolds, Damian Kust, and Yesh Ginsburg.<\/p>\n

French Open Day 2 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Pedro Cachin vs Tommy Paul<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nCachin had the memory of playing his idol Rafael Nadal in Madrid, but before that, he lost 15 matches in a row. That is not form that makes me confident he will beat Italian Open semifinalist Paul. The American has improved on clay a lot.
\nPrediction: Paul in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nCachin finally snapped his losing streak at altitude in Madrid, but that return to form was clearly only temporary. He hasn\u2019t managed to repeat it at sea-level and suffered two brutal losses in Lyon last week (one as a lucky loser). Especially against someone as solid as Paul, it would take a massive effort from Cachin to produce the upset.
\nPrediction: Paul in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nTommy Paul is already a solid Top 15-25 player, consistently, and he just seems to keep raising his peak, bit by bit, ever few months. Expect him to have no problem here.
\nPrediction: Paul in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Thiago Monteiro vs Miomir Kecmanovic<\/h4>\n

Jordan:<\/em>
\nBoth players generally play their best tennis on clay, although Monteiro relies more heavily on his results on the dirt. This is likely to be a very tight battle between these two that will go the distance. In a very long match, I favour Kecmanovic slightly more.
\nPrediction: Kecmanovic in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nThey played a classic in Rome recently with Monteiro claiming it in the deciding set tie-break. The Brazilian has been in the form of his life the last month or so and kept it up in the qualifying. He\u2019s definitely less reliable than Kecmanovic in general, but if he keeps it up\u2026 His peak game might be just a bit stronger right now.
\nPrediction: Monteiro in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesh:<\/em>
\nMonteiro won a very tight battle just a few weeks ago, in a third-set tiebreak. This will be a total coin-flip, so I’ll take the Serbian to get revenge.
\nPrediction: Kecmanovic in 5<\/em><\/p>\n
