Last Updated: 09/29/2020 at 9:06 AM ET
At the 2020 French Open, Dominic Thiem has made it into the second round of the tournament where he will face Jack Sock from the United States.
Dominic Thiem has been in outstanding touch as he enters this match having recently won the US Open. Thiem was outstanding throughout his US Open campaign where he defeated the likes of Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev. Thiem enters this match having defeated Marin Cilic in straight sets in the previous round. It was a dominant performance as he won 86% of his service games and 6 return games. The receiving was especially strong from Thiem as he won close to 50% of his receiving points. Considering his recent form, Thiem is well placed to challenge for the French Open title.
On the other side of the coin, Jack Sock enters this match after defeating Reilly Opelka in the previous round. It was a good performance by Sock as he won the fixture in straight sets. During the win, Jack Sock won 93% of his service games and 5 return games. It has been a tough restart to the season for Jack Sock as the American failed to perform at the US Open and at the Cincinnati Masters. This is expected to be a tough match for Jack Sock as he is playing against one of the elite players of the ATP tour.
Jack Sock and Dominic Thiem have played each other 4 times in the past with Thiem winning on 3 occasions and Sock winning once. The most recent match between these two players was in 2018 at the Paris Masters where Dominic Thiem won in 3 sets.
Jack Sock is an exciting player to watch but I see the American losing this match. Dominic Thiem has been in elite form and the American is playing at the top level in recent months. I see Dominic Thiem being good enough to win this match in straight sets.
