Prediction and Conclusion

Both Cobolli and Medjedovic are some of the best young players on the tour, and whoever wins this one will get to the second round at Roland Garros for the first time in his career. Cobolli is higher ranked, but that can make no difference in this match. Both of them are coming from solid weeks of high-level tournaments, and they will lack confidence. Medjedovic has one of the best forehands on the tour, and he will be the breakout star this year in Paris, and this win will be just the beginning of his journey.
