A spot in the next round is at stake on Monday, when Aleksandar Vukic goes up against Raphael Collignon in the French Open first round. Aleksandar Vukic is 4-6 across recent matches. Raphael Collignon is 6-4 across recent matches.

The ledger favors Raphael Collignon, 2-0 across their 2 meetings with Aleksandar Vukic. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Collignon — worth more than the overall number this week.
