I'm in Barcelona for the tournament and watched both Andy and Rafa today. I watched Thiem play Kyle and I have to say he'll be a tough nut for Andy tomorrow.
Nice one, what are the grounds like? Roland Garros is one of the most picturesque sporting venues i've ever been to.
Don't judge Andy's chances on how Kyle performs, firstly Kyle isn't great on clay and in general just isn't all that - has a sucker punch forehand, that is it. Murray is world number one, whole other kettle of fish.
Thiem will get a set but lose in a close one imo. I backed Thiem for Garros last year and he unfortunately ran into a sterling Novak in the semi's, so i'm not oblivious to his talent or ability on clay, but I don't see him having enough to hurt Murray enough to edge the win. Murray has won both encounters 2-1 in sets, neither were on clay tho.
I would love to see Rafa or Murray win the french. Great to see Sharapova back too, important time to have her around, the women's game needs her to be honest.
