Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 32.5 – 1.72.
Kuznetsov made it to the main draw at Roland Garros for the first time since 2017. However, Andrey’s first-round opponent for the tournament is very hard to win. Schwartzman is a clay specialist and it will be very difficult for Kuznetsov to withstand him even in terms of physics.
The tennis players have met each other twice before and both matches ended in two sets. We believe that the upcoming match will follow a similar pattern. Kuznetsov is unlikely to be ready for long rallies against Schwartzman.
It’s really nice to see Andrey Kuznetsov back in the main draw at Roland-Garros.
His route in the qualies was:
R1 R.Peniston 6-2, 6-2
R2 T. Sandgren 6-1, 7-6(4)

Kuznetsov is having a very weak season overall, but at Roland Garros, he still managed to qualify.
Andrey beat Ryan Peniston (6-2, 6-2) and Tennys Sandgren (6-1, 7-6) before defeating Marco Trungelliti (6-4, 4-6, 6-2) in the decider.
Before that, Kuznetsov had a terrible series of results. He had not won a single match at the Challengers in Pau, Marbella, Murcia, Split and Rome.
The only exception was the recent Challenger in Zagreb. Here, though, Andrey made it through the first round, after which, however, he lost.
In 2015, Kuznetsov reached the third round at Roland Garros.
Kuznetsov has played 9 games on the clay this season and has only 4 wins.

Schwartzman, meanwhile, is one of those who can surprise at the French Open.
Moreover, the Argentine has already once managed to almost shock the Parisian public. Diego reached the semi-finals at Roland Garros in 2020. Only Rafa Nadal could stop him (3-6, 3-6, 6-7).
In addition, Schwartzman has dropped out on two other occasions after the quarter-finals. Remarkably, he also lost to Nadal in both 2018 (6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 2-6) and 2021 (3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 0-6).
This season, Schwartzman reached the quarter-finals in Monte Carlo and the semi-finals in Barcelona. In Madrid and Rome, the Argentinian performed worse.
Schwartzman has played 23 games on the clay this season and has 16 wins.
