Our pick: Svitolina E. – Pliskova Ka.: winner Svitolina/more than 18.5 games in the match

27.05.2024 16:15

Karolina Pliskova’s dream of a Grand Slam is slowly fading, especially at Roland Garros her chances are practically zero.

She did play in the semifinals of the French Open in 2017, but that was an exception, after which she only made it through to the 3rd round twice and dropped out of the other nine events in the 2nd round at the latest. This year her expectations are minimal and not only because of the strict draw. Her heroic February streak of eleven wins, crowned with a triumph at the Cluj tournament, was taken away by an ankle injury that hampered her. Since her return, she has a passive 1-3 record, winning only one of three duels on clay against Russia’s Kudermetyeva.

Of the Czech tennis players, she then received the toughest draw for the first round of Roland Garros in the form of tournament number 15 Elena Svitolina. The Ukrainian has never lost her first match in Paris, having reached the quarter-finals four times, including last year. But the fact is that she is also not in dazzling form, in the French Open dress rehearsal she lost in the second round in Starsburg to the home team’s Burelova in three sets, with whom Pliskova also dropped out in three sets a round earlier.

What to bet on:

Karolina has a slightly better record (5-4), but the previous four matches were won by the Ukrainian, which is not entirely relevant because the last match was five years ago. Pliskova can bite, she won’t give the match away for free, but Svitolina will rejoice at the end and the match will go to 20 games in total.

Confidence:

7/10
