Novak Djokovic is back to doing what he does best, steamrolling through a Grand Slam draw, despite having had a forgettable year thus far. He took no time in dispatching his second-round opponent, Roberto Carballes-Baena, at the French Open.

Lorenzo Musetti, too, has had a very positive start to his Roland Garros campaign, losing zero sets in his first two matches. He also took down hometown favorite Gael Monfils in the second round, in what may have been one of Monfils’ last appearances in his home Slam.

In what is a rematch of their 2021 French Open fourth round, Musetti and Djokovic will go up against each other on Saturday in this year’s third round at the clay court Slam.

This was in the fourth round of the 2016 French Open, where Musetti led by two sets, but Djokovic found his best tennis to even the score at two sets all. In the fifth, Musetti was forced to retire due to injury when he was trailing 0-4.

Novak Djokovic vs. Lorenzo Musetti: Match Prediction

Neither of the players has lived up to expectations this year, Djokovic even more so. The World No. 1 has won no titles in the first half of the year, something that has not happened in decades, when he has traveled for tournaments. He has also lost a couple of matches against players ranked well outside the top 20.

Musetti has been struggling with his form too, going down in the first round of many tournaments recently and also taking some losses at the ATP Challenger level.

Djokovic has beaten Musetti already this year at Monte Carlo and has visibly increased his level in the French Open. This means he remains the favorite to win this match but will have to face some obstacles along the way. 

Prediction: Novak Djokovic to win in four sets
