Roberto Carballes Baena faces Constant Lestienne for a place in round two of the French Open. For the winner, there's a match against either the top seed Novak Djokovic or wild card Pierre-Huges Herbert. Baena is 63rd in the live rankings which is 28 places above his French opponent. The Spaniard is also over 20 places ahead of Lestienne in the Live ATP Race with Baena in 59th place on Sunday evening. A win for Baena will take him into the second round at Roland Garros for the fourth year in a row. His best performance in this clay court Grand Slam was reaching the third round in 2020. This is his 11th clay court tournament of the year and he reached the final in Marrakech, a tournament he won last year. He also got to the last 16 in Barcelona and Geneva.

Constant Lestienne hasn't too many fond memories of his home Grand Slam. He reached round one last year but before that had failed in seven attempts to qualify for the main draw. Of his ten matches played at Roland Garros, only two have been won. Lestinenne is not in good form at present and has only won one of his last five matches. That victory came when his opponent had to retire due to injury. We tip Baena to get a straight sets victory.
