Each day of the tournament, we'll preview and predict three must-see matches at the French Open.

Kyrgios is 11 years younger, seven inches taller and ranked 15 spots higher than Kohlschreiber. Even if clay isn’t his favorite surface, his superior power and fresher legs—and his serve, of course—make him the favorite in this match, with one caveat: his hip. He hurt it in Madrid, and it kept him out of Rome. The Aussie and the German have never played.

Winner: Kyrgios

How have these two 30-something veterans, two of the sport’s all-time acrobats, avoided each other for so long? The 17th-ranked Monfils and the 75th-ranked Brown will meet for the first time in the late match on Lenglen on Tuesday. These two will always opt for the spectacular when the normal would do, but Monfils is better at both.

Winner: Monfils

Tennis Channel's Daily Serve recaps Day 2 at Roland Garros.

Is it a curse that Halep, who is the favorite of many to win the tournament, must face the woman who knocked her out of Wimbledon in the first round two years ago? Or could it be a blessing in disguise? Cepelova, who hit Halep off the court on grass two years ago, will force the Romanian to face her nerves early. If Halep survives their late match on Chatrier, she should be better for it.

Winner: Halep
