Pablo Carreño Busta Faces Frances Tiafoe at Roland Garros

Pablo Carreño Busta will face Frances Tiafoe in the second round at Roland Garros on May 28.

The Spaniard has a strong clay-court resume, with a 116-93 record on the surface.

Carreno Busta has been to the quarterfinals of Roland Garros twice, but injuries have hindered his progress in recent years.

He is currently ranked 99th in the world, with a 3-8 record since the start of the 2025 season.

Tiafoe has played 14 matches on clay already this season, which could give him an edge in the match.

The American has a strong serve and powerful baseline game, but may struggle with Carreno Busta's sliding ability on clay.

Carreno Busta quickly disposed of Francisco Comesana in the first round, but his body may not hold up in multiple best-of-five matches.

Tiafoe is favored to win, with a moneyline of -175, due to his slightly better form and athletic edge.

The match will be a test of endurance, with Tiafoe likely to try and grind out a win in the fifth set.

Carreno Busta's experience on clay will be crucial, but his recent injuries may catch up with him.

The Spaniard is 33 years old, and his ranking has suffered as a result of his injuries.

Tiafoe, on the other hand, is 27 years old and has the advantage of youth on his side.

The match will be played on Court 7, with Tiafoe looking to advance to the third round for just the second time in his career.
