Match Predict – Handicap (-10.5) for Nadal
Nadal has health problems. In recent tournaments, Rafa has been bothered by an old foot injury, so there is not much to expect from his performance at Roland Garros. Nevertheless, Rafa should be able to play his opening matches at a good level, even despite the injury.
Total Games – Under 26.5
The only head-to-head encounter between the two players ended in two sets. Nadal, although not in optimum playing conditions, should easily pass Thompson, who even on the Challengers this season could not demonstrate anything significant.

Jordan Thompson spent the spring part of the season on clay. The Australian has only two wins in seven matches.
Jordan made the first round in Houston in early April and won one match at the Challenger in Tunisia in mid-May.
That said, Thompson managed to reach the third round at Roland Garros once. Still, this is the exception to the rule. All of Jordan’s successes are due to the hardcourt.

Nadal, meanwhile, has only managed to play in two tournaments before Roland Garros. Rafa missed a month and a half due to a stress fracture of a rib.
Immediately after the unpleasant injury, Nadal won two matches at the Masters in Madrid. In the quarter-finals, Nadal lost to eventual winner Carlos Alcaraz (2-6, 6-1, 3-6). The young Spaniard played a much better third set than Nadal.
In Rome, Nadal only made it one round. After beating John Isner (6-3, 6-1), he unexpectedly lost to Denis Shapovalov (6-1, 5-7, 2-6).
However, it was not really a sensation. The fact is that in the third set Rafa had trouble moving around the court because of a foot injury that caused him to miss almost half of last season.
This injury is chronic and it could be the main obstacle for Nadal on his way to another title in Paris.
