Aryna Sabalenka vs Kamilla Rakhimova prediction

Aryna Sabalenka’s bid for a maiden French Open title commences against world number 75 Kamilla Rakhimova.

The top seed may have lost in the quarter-finals in Rome, but she has looked imperious on clay so far in 2025, picking up the Madrid title and winning 12 of her 14 matches on the surface. 

Rakhimova has not made much impression in the top tier tournaments and trails 2-0 in the head-to-head. 

The first meeting between the pair saw Sabalenka triumph 6-2 6-2 at Roland-Garros two years ago and it will be a similar scoreline for the Belarusian this time around too.
