Taylor Fritz is set to face Francisco Cerundolo in the third round of the 2023 French Open. The match will happen on June 3, 2023. It can be streamed live on Sony Ten in India and NBC Sports and Peacock TV in the USA.

Taylor Fritz is currently World No. 8 and has been pretty good in the French Open except for the first set in the second round. Taylor Fritz and Francisco Cerundolo will lock horns for the first time on June 3. This will be their first encounter, so the head-to-head score stands at 0-0.

Fritz has been mentally strong and managed to pull through the second round even after getting booed so much by the crowd. Francisco Cerundolo recently made it to the Lyon Open finals, but his nerves got the better of him and he ended up losing to Arthur Fils. The match on June 3 can really go either way, but if it has to be predicted, Taylor Fritz has a better chance of winning. The match might be long, and it could take Fritz up to five sets to be victorious.
