Tennis Prediction Moïse Kouamé vs Alejandro Tabilo: Roland Garros

🇫🇷 #RolandGarros

🇫🇷🇨🇱 Over 3.5 sets Kouamé Tabilo · 1.77 | 0.65u

• Small stake here, but I still feel like trying my luck with the beautiful French story of this first week.

• Moïse Kouamé has just signed the biggest win of his young career by overturning Vallejo after an enormous 5-set battle.

• At only 17 years old, what he is achieving is already exceptional and he continues to surprise everyone match after match.

• Honestly, on paper, I still see Alejandro Tabilo getting through (we also have his Q2 at 7.50), the Chilean is more experienced, more complete and above all much fresher physically after having benefited from a relatively favourable run so far.

• The succession of matches demanded of Kouamé is starting to become totally unreal for a player of his age. Between the emotional intensity, the pressure, the heat and the hours spent on the court, it would be logical to see the Frenchman eventually pay the price at some point.

• But precisely, I don't think that will happen immediately because today, he will find the Suzanne-Lenglen in an atmosphere that is likely to be totally in his favour.

• And I really feel that the public can allow him to transcend himself once again, I see him capable of starting very strongly, particularly in the first or second set, carried by the energy of the stadium and the euphoria of his run.

• Especially since Alejandro Tabilo ultimately did not play his second round after the withdrawal of Valentin Vacherot.

• On paper, this allowed him to save a lot of physical energy, which is an obvious advantage in a Grand Slam but the downside is that he could also lack a bit of rhythm and bearings today.

• While Kouamé was chaining sets and continuing to gain confidence on the court, the Chilean has remained several days without competition.

• And in the start of a match against a young player carried by an entire stadium, this lack of rhythm could be felt, particularly in the first or second set.

• Tabilo is the favourite, but he is not necessarily the kind of player who always starts his matches perfectly.

• If Kouamé manages to surf on the atmosphere and impose a lot of intensity from the start, he can clearly go and get a set.
