Here’s a look at the French Open 2022 previews between Daniil Medvedev vs Facundo Bagnis and Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Lorenzo Musetti.

Daniil Medvedev vs Facundo Bagnis preview, prediction and H2H stats

Argentine Facundo Bagnis had relatively early exits from the  Australian Open, Indian Wells and Miami Masters this year. However, he has looked more impressive on clay, after winning the Pereira Challenger Series in Colombia and reaching the quarterfinals of the Chile Open as well.

Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev had an impressive start to the year, reaching the final of the Australian Open. The Russian underwent surgery to fix a hernia issue after the Miami Masters and will be playing only his second match since his return to action.

These two players have never faced each other before but given that Bagnis has looked impressive on clay, our prediction is a win in three sets for the Argentine.

Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Lorenzo Musetti preview, prediction and H2H stats

Tsitsipas has been in an exceptional run of form leading up to the French Open. He defended his title at the Monte-Carlo Masters before reaching the quarterfinals of the Barcelona Open, where he suffered defeat against Carlos Alcaraz. The Greek star then lost to Alexander Zverev in the semifinals of the Madrid Open but went one step further in Rome as he lost to Novak Djokovic in the final.

Meanwhile, young Italian Lorenzo Musetti had a strong run in early 2021, making the semi-finals of the ATP 500 at Acapulco as well as at the ATP 250 in Lyon, incidentally losing out both times to Stefanos Tsitsipas.

Tsitsipas currently leads the H2H record in this fixture with 2 wins in 2 matches against Musetti. Our prediction is another win for Tsitsipas on Tuesday.
