Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Jiri Vesely vs Steve Johnson
Steve Johnson
The American hadn’t won a match in 2021 (0-5) before arriving in Paris but managed to edge Frances Tiafoe and Thiago Monteiro in five sets to reach the third round at the French Open. He suffered plenty of opening-round losses in those 12 months but went 3-0 in the first round of slams (in 2021).
Johnson made a relatively better start to the 2022 season. He registered a win in six of the seven main-draw appearances he made on the main tour in these five months and pulled off a superb five-set win in the first round of the Australian Open, against Jordan Thompson.
Jiri Vesely
Vesely has shown both the best and worst sides of him in the early stages of the 2022 season. He defeated Roberto Bautista Agut, Novak Djokovic, and Denis Shapovalov en route to the finals in ATP Dubai, but also handed wins to the likes of Malek Jaziri and Hugo Dellien.
The big-serving Czech has competed at the French Open every year since 2013, but he never made it to the second week. His best result here was reaching the third round once in 2017, and three of his last four campaigns here ended in the first round.
Safe Bet
Both players winning at least one set has odds of 1.48 at Melbet. To justify, Vesely won an average of 3.5 sets per match in Roland Garos while Johnson’s average is 3.83. As a result, we will back both players to win at least a set.
Get Rich Quick
In the only meeting between Vesely and Johnson, the first set ended in a tiebreak. Moreover, in two of Jonson’s last four matches, the first set was decided by a tiebreak. Therefore, with odds of 3.80 at Melbet, we predict to see a tiebreak in the first set.
