One of Sunday's first-round matches taking place on the ATP side of things at Roland Garros sees Benjamin Bonzi and Alexander Zverev do business. This is the home slam for the French player, who would love to cause a splash in front of what should be a bouyant French crowd. Unfortunately for the world number 98, the draw has now been kind. Facing the world number three is not what Bonzi would've wanted, while it's not as if he has a promising record at the French Open, not making the second round since 2020.
In contrast, Alexander Zverev often plays some of his best tennis at Roland Garros, where his first-round record is fantastic. Given that the German has won four of his last five first-round matches in straight sets at Roland Garros, doing so in good style last year, it's not difficult to side with the world number three to emerge victorious without dropping a set.
