Cameron Norrie’s previous round victories over a couple of French players have resulted in a deteriorating relationship between him and the Parisian crowd. It will be interesting to see if the crowd continues to boo him and celebrate his mistakes in the upcoming matches. In the first round, he defeated Benoit Paire in a gruelling five-set match, and he followed that up with a commanding straight-set win over Lucas Pouille in the second round. He has never advanced past the third round of the French Open, and his last two appearances here in 2021 and 2022 ended in straight sets against Rafael Nadal and four sets against Karen Khachanov, respectively.
Lorenzo Musetti won only four games in three sets against Alexander Shevchenko, who had previously given top players like Daniil Medvedev and Jannik Sinner a tough challenge in recent high-profile clay tournaments like the Madrid Masters and Rome Masters. The talented Italian youngster is currently on a four-match losing streak against top-20 players in slams, with two of those defeats coming here at the French Open in five sets against Novak Djokovic in 2021 (R16) and Stefanos Tsitsipas in five sets in 2022 (R1). It’s worth noting that he was ranked outside the top 50 during all four of his previous defeats, but he’s now a top 20 player.
