Fonseca vs Prižmić Head-to-Head Record
This will be the first-ever meeting between these two young talents, and it has all the ingredients to be one of the most thrilling matches of the day.
Prižmić arrives at Roland Garros as the more in-form player, after claiming wins over Novak Djokovic and Ben Shelton in the lead-up to the Grand Slam. He got his French Open campaign off to a near-perfect start, cruising to a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 win over Michael Zheng.
Fonseca hasn’t made as big an impression on clay yet, but he has more experience at this level, which could make the difference in what is expected to be a closely contested matchup.
The Brazilian started his French Open campaign with a straight-sets win over Luka Pavlovic. He looked a little nervous at times, but managed to get the job done quite comfortably in the end to claim his first win in more than a month.
Fonseca vs Prižmić Prediction and Pick
While this is Prižmić’s maiden French Open campaign in men’s singles, he is a former junior champion at Roland Garros.
Prižmić is also in sublime form at the moment, with his Djokovic-esque style of play making him very difficult to beat. He possesses elite court coverage and is just as comfortable getting involved in baseline battles.
Fonseca has the tools to succeed on clay but hasn’t found the consistency after an encouraging run in Monte-Carlo. The 19-year-old will look to use his relentless aggression and baseline skills to his advantage and put Prižmić on the back foot early.
The stage is set for a tight contest that will keep fans on the edge of their seats. Keeping composure in the key moments will be vital, and we believe that Prižmić’s recent results have him well placed to end Fonseca’s run at Roland Garros.
Pick – Prižmić in four sets.
