Recently, the 34-year-old has a 9-6 win/loss record on clay where he has his best career record winning 58.1% of his matches. In his last tournament in Rome, Fognini lost to fellow Italian Jannick Sinner in three sets.
Alexei Popyrin meanwhile is playing in the third French Open of his career with a 1-4 win/loss record. It wasn’t a fine year for the Australian so far who has a 3-9 record in the ATP level tournaments since the start of the year.
To prepare for the French Open, Popyrin played two challenger tournaments in Aix en Province and Bordeaux winning the title in the latter one. In effect, the 22-year-old won seven and lost three on clay this year.
