Koepfer vs Federer: Roger to win in straight sets?

Koepfer can be satisfied with his performance at Roland Garros this year. The German has never been known for his clay performance. And this season, before the start of Roland Garros, he did not show great results on this surface.

But at the Major, he managed to get into the third round. In his opener, Dominik beat the Frenchman Gregoire Barrere in straight sets (6-3, 6-3, 6-4), and in the second round, he scored a victory over the American Taylor Fritz (6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4).

Federer played at only one clay tournament before Roland Garros, and it wasn't successful: he was knocked out in the first round of the competition by Pablo Andujar (4-6, 6-4, 4-6).

Back then it seemed that the Swiss player was absolutely not ready for the French Open. Nevertheless, Roger had a confident start in Paris - in the first round of the competition he beat Denis Istomin (6-2, 6-4, 6-3), and in the second, he dealt with Marin Cilic (6-2, 2-6, 7 -6, 6-2).
