Our tip: Volynets K. – Vondrousova M.: Volynets +5.5 games

29.05.2024 11:00

Markéta Vondroušová swept away Spain’s Rebecca Masarova 6:1 and 6:3 in the opening round of Roland Garros, but there are still question marks over her performance at the clay grand slam.

Last year’s Wimbledon champion had an average record of 11-8 before the French Open, and had to deal with health and personal problems (divorce, death of her grandfather). She hasn’t found comfort on clay either, dropping her second opponent in her last three tournaments, including the Strasbourg rehearsal. Even if her next opponent is a qualifier, she will have a tougher match than against Masar.

American Katie Volynets had a smooth qualifying run, winning all three of her duels 2-0 in sets, before taking down Serbia’s Krunic 7-6, 6-2. Volynets has been climbing up the rankings rapidly this year, making two semifinals and one quarterfinal at smaller WTA tournaments, winning the scalps of compatriots Kenin, Andree, Jabeur, picking up a set from Kalinska, Collins, Wozniacki, and world number two Sabalenka at the clay Masters.

What to bet on:

Volynets can stay on clay for a long time in the exchanges and Vondrousova will have to force her to make mistakes, she won’t get many unforced ones. The Czech favourite will win, but not by more than five games in total.

Confidence:

7/10
