Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the ATP Roland Garros match.
After a dramatic and hard-earned win against Daniil Medvedev, Cameron Norrie has progressed to the second round at Roland Garros. Cameron Norrie now faces Federico Agustín Gómez, entering the match as the clear favourite. The victory over one of the top-ranked Russian players has significantly boosted Cameron Norrie’s confidence, positioning him well to advance further in the tournament without expending excessive effort. In contrast, Federico Agustín Gómez entered the main draw as a lucky loser and has not shown the ability to pose a serious challenge.
Cameron Norrie
Cameron Norrie tends to build momentum as the tournament progresses, especially once he clears the opening round. At this stage of Roland Garros, he holds a record of three wins and one loss. His clay-court form this season has been impressive, with 12 wins in 18 matches. Notably, he pushed Novak Djokovic to three sets in Geneva (4:6, 7:6, 1:6) and outlasted Daniil Medvedev in a five-set battle (7:5, 6:3, 4:6, 1:6, 7:5).
Federico Agustín Gómez
Currently ranked No. 144 in the ATP rankings, Federico Agustín Gómez pulled off a surprise in the first round by defeating Aleksandar Kovacevic (4:6, 6:4, 6:4, 6:1), despite hitting four double faults and committing 39 unforced errors. However, prior to that, he had suffered a heavy defeat in the final round of qualifying to Giulio Zeppieri (1:6, 4:6). This season, Federico Agustín Gómez has struggled for consistency, losing 15 of his 23 matches. Most of his appearances have come on the Challenger circuit, where the majority of his opponents fall outside the ATP top 100.
Cameron Norrie vs Federico Agustín Gómez Prediction
Cameron Norrie is currently in strong form and is expected to close out this match comfortably. While Federico Agustín Gómez shows determination, his level of play is unlikely to hold up over the course of a best-of-five sets match.
