The second round of men’s singles at the French Open starts on Day 4 of the event. A full half of the draw is playing, which means 16 matches. As always, we here at LWOT will share our thoughts on all of them with you. We split the 16 matches between four articles. In addition to this article, the other three feature Ben Shelton vs Kei Nishikori<\/a>, Carlos Alcaraz vs Jesper De Jong<\/a>, and Frances Tiafoe vs Denis Shapovalov<\/a>. Predicting today’s matches are Tope Oke, Ateet Shrivastava, and Damian Kust. Who do you think will advance?<\/p>\n

French Open Day 4 Predictions<\/h2>\n

Sebastian Korda vs Soon-woo Kwon<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nWhile Kwon can be an unpredictable player, Sebastian Korda should have far too much for him. Wouldn\u2019t be surprising if the South Korean manages to nick in a set in what should be a Korda win.
\nPrediction: Korda in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Ateet:<\/em>
\nSebastian Korda played a clean match in his first round and was only broken once. Soon-woo Kwon played one of his best matches on clay to beat Emil Ruusuvuori in his opening match easily. If he can bring that level again then Korda will have a match on his hands. Korda is yet to win consecutive matches on clay this year and has a great chance to do so.
\nPrediction: Korda in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nKwon surprised everyone by taking out Ruusuvuori in straight sets in round one, although that probably says more about the Finn than his own new-found clay quality. Korda should really enjoy this draw with the one concern being the physio treatments he received in his opener against Mayot. He still got through that one in straights though and probably should be fine here as well.
\nPrediction: Korda in 3<\/em><\/p>\n

Matteo Arnaldi vs Alexandre Muller<\/h4>\n

Tope:<\/em>
\nThis promises to be one of the matches to look forward to. While Muller bagged straight sets win over a disillusioned Luca Nardi in the first round, Arnaldi looked more assured in his comfortable win over home boy, Arthur Fils and I\u2019ll back to send another French player packing.
\nPrediction: Arnaldi in 4<\/em><\/p>\n

Ateet:<\/em>
\nMatteo Arnaldi is always dangerous on clay and someone to look out for. He has a good pair of wheels and has variety in his game and he showed that against Arthur Fils in the first round. Alexandre Muller has been in good form and easily dispatched his first-round opponent in straight sets. The Frenchman will have extra confidence with the crowd and Arnaldi has already played a match against a French player. This could go either way.
\nPrediction: Muller in 5<\/em><\/p>\n

Damian:<\/em>
\nArnaldi took down Fils again and that\u2019s a matchup where the Italian plays with so much clarity, shrinking the court and forcing him to overhit. It\u2019s opponents like Muller he\u2019s struggling with recently as he can\u2019t quite get the balance right. While he is the more talented player, the Frenchman has got some form back too and he\u2019ll make Arnaldi have to play extremely sharp to have a shot at claiming the win. That\u2019s just what he does.
\nPrediction: Muller in 5<\/em><\/p>\n
