Jannik Sinner vs Bjorn Fratengelo prediction
Sinner will enter the match as the heavy favorite given his form and ability. The Italian has won 24 out of 30 matches this season and his performances on clay have been fairly consistent.
Sinner will look to dominate the match from the baseline using his powerful backhand, with which he can generate a lot of top spin. The Italian's athleticism and on-court movement is also a valuable asset on the claycourts of Paris.
A former French Open Boys' singles champion, Fratangelo will rely heavily on his serve but will have to be prepared to do a lot of running to cope with Sinner's powerful ball-striking from the baseline.
All things considered, the Italian should have no trouble getting past Fratangelo and moving into the second round of the French Open.
Pick: Sinner to win in straight sets.
