Alina Korneeva vs Elisabetta Cocciaretto prediction
The biggest challenge for Elisabetta Cocciaretto will be dealing with an opponent who has made it through three rounds of qualifying already to reach this stage, meaning momentum is in Alina Korneeva’s favour. The young 18-year-old is playing in the French Open first round for the very first time in her fledgling career and is a former French Open girls singles champion.
Strong and fearless on clay, Korneeva will not make things easy for Cocciaretto. The Italian had been struggling with injury but looked good in Rome recently and that bodes well for Cocciaretto heading into this match. She is a better player than Korneeva at this time and should be backed to get the better of her here.
