Daily Acca Tips: Austria, Internacional & French Open tennis are in

Top sport on the pitch and the court

There’s a smattering of top tennis and fine football on this Wednesday, including French Open action and an international test for the coming World Cup hosts.

Once again, the Coral News Team have served up five top tips on the action, starting with two of the morning’s ties at Roland Garros…

Gael Monfils – 8/13

The Frenchman has enjoyed some of his best career performances in the French Open. Monfils has reached the quarter-finals three times and semi-finals once. After a commanding first round defeat of Elliot Benchetrit, he faces Martin Klizan.

The Slovakian has never made it beyond this stage at Roland Garros. And he failed to pass the second round of any Grand Slam in 2017.

Having seen off the likes of Richard Gasquet on the clay last year, Monfils looks likely to do the business again.

Kei Nishikori – 1/4

World number 21 Nishikori is also in action at Roland Garros, facing Frenchman Benoit Paire. The Japanese ace has triumphed in both of the pair’s previous clay-court meetings, and reached the French Open quarter-finals last year.

Paire has had a disappointing 2018 thus far, including a first round defeat to world number 71 Guillermo Garcia Lopez in the Australian Open. This should be easy pickings for Nishikori.

Austria – 5/4
