Command Analysis
Denis Istomin
UzbekistanIstomin has not played at big tournaments for a long time. Recently, the representative of Kazakhstan has been only appearing at the Challengers. But he managed to get into the main draw of Roland Garros.
Denis played very confidently in the qualification of the claycourt Major. He beat Damir Džumhur (2-6, 6-2, 6-1), Ramkumar Ramanathan (6-1, 6-2), and Tobias Kamke (6-4, 7-6).
Roger Federer
SwitzerlandFederer keeps improving his form after a long absence due to a knee injury. It is obvious that the Swiss player is not in optimal physical condition at the moment, therefore, we do not really expect serious achievements from him at Roland Garros.
Roger has repeatedly stated that his main goal is Wimbledon. Federer wants to come to that tournament in best possible form.
