The big Swiss champion is trying a long way back when returning to Roland Garros. Adversary in the second round will be the surprising German Oscar Otte.

Oscar Otte

Neamt Otte is one of the lucky losers of qualifying rounds. Thus, after passing the first two rounds of qualifying, Otte was defeated in the last game by Spaniard Garcia-Lopez. Taking advantage of the withdrawal of already qualified athletes on the main board, the German received the lucky looser status and I could see him for the second time in his career in the first round of the Parisian tournament. Interestingly, last year he was lucky looser in Paris, losing to Berrentini in the first round.History has not been repeated this year too, Otte surprisingly surprising Tunisian Jaziri, 3-1 in sets, after a match in which he served excellently, losing only 2 times the service and gathering about 11. It was the first victory of the German in a tour of such importance.Wednesday’s match is of special importance to the German, Roger Federer being his idol and his model in tennis, as he himself said.

Roger Federer

Roger Federer returned to Roland Garros after four years and managed to advance without difficulty in the second round without much use in the match against the Italian Sonego.For the Swiss at the age of 37, this is the 18th in Paris, and in 2009 managed to win the title, the only Grand Slam missing.In recent years, he has avoided touring on clay, being aware that he has consumed too much energy on a surface that has fewer chances to win tournaments, but this year he has decided to honor the Roland Garros tournament again with his presence. He previously participated in Madrid, where he was defeated in the Thiem quarters, and in Rome, and he was withdrawing in the same phase of the competition, preferring not to risk an injury.

Tennis Prediction of the Day Otte vs Federer

As we have seen in the first match, Federer does not make much effort, preferring to save his energy for the more intense matches that will definitely follow. So I think it will happen this time too, and the Swiss will be happy with a single break on the set and will focus on making their own services.
