Sunday's French Open first round pits Kyrian Jacquet against Marco Trungelliti on clay. Kyrian Jacquet comes in at 2 wins from the last ten. Marco Trungelliti limps in on a 4-match losing skid, just 4 wins in 10.
Marco Trungelliti leads the head-to-head 1-0, and history has a way of mattering in matchups like this one. On clay specifically it reads 1-0 Trungelliti — worth more than the overall number this week.
The serve is where this match separates: Jacquet has been winning 72.7% of first-serve points to Trungelliti's 67.6%, and on clay that gap compounds fast. Jacquet should have enough here, though Trungelliti has the tools to make the scoreboard uncomfortable.
