The only Czech representative in the men’s singles equaled the Grand Slam maximum from this year’s Australian Open by advancing to the third round. At Roland Garros, he has played the main event only once, four years ago, when he was eliminated in the first round.
The 23-year-old Macháč will face Medvedev for the second time in his career. The first match between them in 2022 in Indian Wells was won by the five-year-older Russian smoothly in straight sets.
