Grigor Dimitrov vs Fabian Marozsan prediction
The clay swing hasn't gone too smoothly for Marozsan. He won two matches before the French Open, with one of them being a mid-match retirement from his opponent. Thus, his first-round win over Kukushkin was the need of the hour, snapping his three-match losing streak.
Dimitrov has been more consistent compared to Marozsan but hasn't matched his highs from the hardcourt swing on clay. Aside from the occasional hiccup, he didn't struggle as much against Kovacevic in his opener. He won 83 percent of his first serve points and struck 35 winners during the match.
Marozsan has a couple of top-10 wins this season, but given his recent troubles on clay, getting the better of Dimitrov could prove to be a tall order. The Bulgarian could encounter some challenges but should advance eventually.
Pick: Grigor Dimitrov to win in four sets
