SA duo to face seeded opponents in Paris─── 09:43 Thu, 01 Oct 2020
Assuming the weather plays ball - Kevin Anderson and Lloyd Harris will be back in action on Thursday at the French Open in Paris. Both players are scheduled to play seeded opponents in their men's second round singles matches.
Kevin faces 22nd seed, Dušan Lajovic (Serbia). Kevin leads Lajovic 2-0 in head-to-heads, with their only encounter on clay taking place in 2018 (Madrid), which the South African won in three sets. Lajovic is a clay court specialist - with one ATP 250 singles title under his belt.
Meanwhile, Lloyd has a tricky encounter against 7th seed, Matteo Berrettini (Italy). This will be the first encounter between the pair. Berrettini reached the semi-finals of the US Open in 2019 and has 3 ATP 250 singles titles to his name.
