THANASI KOKKINAKIS VS GIULIO ZEPPIERI PREDICTION
World number 100 Thanasi Kokkinakis upset friend and compatriot Alexei Popyrin in five sets on Tuesday, coming from behind before twice taking the lead in a survival of the fittest. The 28-year-old will likely be feeling the effects of an incredible four-and-a-half hour opener two days ago and the cool conditions at this adversely damp Roland-Garros will not help in his recovery against hungry qualifier Giulio Zeppieri.
World number 148 Zeppieri came back from a set down to beat 22nd seed Adrian Mannarino in a not-so upset on his favoured clay and he will be well aware that his best chance at winning this first encounter is to extend rallies – something that the clay specialist will be able to do in slower than usual conditions. Back the Italian to reach the third round.
