Here’s a look at the French Open 2022 Second Round previews between Daniil Medvedev vs Laslo Dere and Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Zdenek Kolar.
Daniil Medvedev was on the sidelines for six weeks due to a hernia procedure after finishing runner-up at the Australian Open this year. The Russian then returned to action at the Geneva Open but lost to Richard Gasquet in his opening match. In the first round of the French Open, the 26-year-old beat Facundo Bagnis 6-2, 6-2, 6-2.
On the other hand, Laslo Dere got to the semifinals at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech earlier this year and has put in a string of commendable performances against the top-ranked players this season. In his first-round match at the French Open, Dere beat Ricardas Berankis in straight sets as it took him just two hours and five minutes to book his spot in the second round.

Tsitsipas was staring down the barrel of an early elimination at the French Open after a two-set deficit against Lorenzo Musetti in the first round. However, the Greek star fought back to win the match in five. The youngster has impressed on clay this season by defending his title at the Monte-Carlo Masters and reaching the final of the Italian Open. He also reached the semifinals at the Madrid Open.
On the other hand, Kolar faced local favourite Lucas Pouille in the first round and beat the Frenchman 6-3, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 to set up a meeting with Tsitsipas. The Czech star has been known to cause upsets in the past and will be hoping for another one on Thursday.
