Molcan has certainly looked great in recent matches, but Alex could fall short this time around. Alex is playing for the second week in a row. He might be tired.
Molcan did not look his best against Cameron Norrie. Only in the second set of the match did he put up a fight against Norrie. In the remaining two sets, he lost by a total margin of eight games.

Novak Djokovic confirmed in his first match that he was in perfect shape.
In Paris, Novak started with a convincing win over Yoshihito Nishioka. Basically, there is nothing much to comment on. If the Japanese took at least four games in the first two sets, the Serb took the third set with a score of 6-0.
Djokovic’s attitude in the first match against not the strongest opponent was surprising in a good sense. It is obvious that his motivation is off the charts after a difficult start to the year.
Novak Djokovic has won six of his last seven games against left-handers.
He has played 14 games on clay this season and has 11 wins.

Molcan started the tournament with a win over Federico Coria (6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3), confirming his status as the favourite in this game.
With the exception of the third set, which was taken by Coria, Alex played the match almost perfectly.
Given Molcan’s spring results, this is indeed an expected result. He unexpectedly reached the final in Marrakech and Lyon, where he lost to David Goffin (6-3, 3-6, 3-6) and Cameron Norrie (3-6, 7-6, 1-6).
At these tournaments too, Molcan has beaten the players like Felix Auger Aliassime (6-4, 2-6, 7-6), Botic van de Zandschulp (4-6, 6-3, 6-4), Karen Khachanov (6-2, 7-6) and Alex De Minaur (7-6, 6-2).
There have been some setbacks, but overall Molcan has shown marked progress in his game recently.
He has played 18 games on clay this season and has 12 wins.
