Dominic Thiem vs Pedro Cachin will take place in the first round of the 2023 French Open on May 28.
Dominic Thiem may wish he had reached the pinnacle of his playing abilities a few years later, as an injury-free and fully in-form Austrian would be considered the favourite to win the current edition of the French Open, given the current state of the main tour. During his prime years, he faced the difficult task of competing against two tennis legends, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. He lost two French Open finals to Rafael Nadal and one Australian Open final to Novak Djokovic. However, in a rare opportunity where both players were absent, Thiem capitalised and won his first grand slam title at the 2020 US Open.
Pedro Cachin has made an impressive comeback after a slow start to the year and has been in good form in recent weeks. He has won 14 matches in his last eight appearances, and his three losses on the main tour have all come in three sets, against Jan Lennard Struff in Madrid, Cristian Garin in Rome, and Sebastian Baez in Lyon. The Argentine won two of his previous three slam first-round matches, against Norbert Gombos at the French Open in 2022, his first main-draw campaign at this level, and Aljaz Bedene at the US Open in 2022.

Pedro Cachin has a 1-0 lead. Dominic Thiem has a significant advantage over his opponent in many aspects of the game. However, as evidenced by their previous meeting at the Marbella Challenger last year, the outcome of their upcoming match will be heavily dependent on Thiem’s performance and fitness.
