Roland Garros 2024 R3 Predictions

Round 3 is here and there are some spectacular match-ups to have your mouth watering like before eating a giant crêpe. In round 2 I successfully predicted 43/64. How many will I predict this round?

MENS DRAW - Standout Matches

Tomas Martin Etcheverry 🇦🇷 [28] vs. Casper Ruud 🇳🇴 [7] This will be a very tough test for Casper. I have been a fan of Tomas since watching him at Wimbledon last year. He has an aggressive game and will cause Casper problems. I could see 4 or 5 sets in this one.

Ben Shelton 🇺🇸 [15] vs. Felix Auger-Aliassime 🇨🇦 [21] Two exciting players with aggressive games go to battle. Honestly it is really hard to pick one over the other but I feel Felix has the better clay court game and will come out on top.

WOMENS DRAW - Stand out matches

Paula Badosa 🇪🇸 vs. Aryna Sabalenka [2] Best friends meet again in round 3. Badosa is quite rightly the underdog and I don't see her getting the better of Sabalenka.

Mirra Andreeva vs. Peyton Stearns 🇺🇸 After huge wins in round 2 for both of these up-and-coming stars this will be a close battle. I have Andreeva to edge out Stearns but only just.

UPSET ALERT

Leylah Fernandez 🇨🇦 [31] vs. Ons Jabeur 🇹🇳 [8] Leylah has been impressive in her first two matches and I believe she will progress to the 4th round with a tight 3 set victory over Jabeur.
