27th seed Rafael Jodar is making his debut at Roland Garros. The Spaniard has been so consistent this year on clay and in round two he takes on James Duckworth. Jodar has already won one ATP Tour clay court title this year and our prediction is a straight sets win for him here.
Unseeded opposition will be taken on in round three, either Nishesh Basavareddy or Alex Michelsen.
Jodar is only 19 but he already looks to be a future Roland Garros champion. He has won 16 of his 19 clay court matches played this season. The Marrakech title was won and he has also been a semi-finalist in Barcelona with two other last eight appearances.
His debut match at Roland Garros saw him lose just five games against Aleksandar Kovacevic.
James Duckworth is making his 13th appearance at Roland Garros but has never made it to round three. Ten times he has lost in either the qualifying rounds or round one. This year saw him beat Gabriel Diallo who was a set and 4-1 down when retiring.
Duckworth has won 11 clay court matches this year but mainly on the Challenger Tour.
Before his win over Diallo, the Australian had lost seven of his last eight matches on the ATP Tour.
