All eyes will be on Alcaraz’s level heading to the main draw. The talented Murcian will have to deal with that pressure, the least in the preliminary phase of the tournament. In this first step, he will face a player with a good past, but an opaque present. Lacko has long since come out of the flashes of the circuit and it is unlikely that he will be able to surprise. To top it off, the surface doesn’t help the Slovenian long-haired aspirations either. The main bookmakers are very strong with Alcaraz’s favoritism and have good arguments to be right.

Alcaraz C. : Form, news and statistics

The young promise of Spanish tennis will try to sneak into the main draw of the second Grand Slam on the calendar for the first time. In the last edition he was eliminated in this same step of the classification against the Australian Aleksandar Vukic (6-4, 6-7 and 3-6).

Last week, the current 94th in the world won the trophy at the Oeiras Challenger (Vs Facundo Bagnis). That was his sixth clay-court tournament so far this season. As far as ATP tournaments are concerned during 2021, the 18-year-old right-hander has the best record in the semifinals at the debuting Marbella Open (Vs Jaume Munar). He accumulates 7 wins and 8 falls in this course (ATP).

Lacko L. : Form, news and statistics

The current 212 in the ranking has not entered the main draw at Roland Garros since 2015, when he was eliminated in the First Round against Spanish David Ferrer. His only triumph in the main part of the tournament was in 2010 (Vs Michael Yani). In 2020 he did not get out unscathed from his first presentation at Qualy (Vs Oscar Otte).

The present of the 33-year-old right-hander is not auspicious at all. This year he did not play a game on the ATP World Tour. On four occasions he was eliminated in the classification, including the Australian Open (Q1 Vs Frederico Ferreira Silva). The Slovenian managed to climb to 44th place in the ATP ranking (2013). He has a couple of finals played on the big circuit: Eastbourne 2018 (grass) and Zagreb 2012 (cement).
