Hailey Baptiste vs Nao Hibino prediction
Hailey Baptiste made headlines in the first round at Roland Garros, after the 23-year-old knocked out 23rd seed Beatriz Haddad Maia in a three set thriller, winning 4-6, 6-3, 6-1. The way Baptiste grew into the game and got even stronger as it went on was most impressive and bodes extremely well for the American moving forward.
Nao Hibino has had to fight hard to reach this stage of the competition. After coming through the qualifiers, Hibino defeated fellow Japanese player Moyuka Uchijima in straight sets to help set up this clash. But based on what we saw from Baptiste most recently, she’ll provide an even tougher challenge.
The fitness and reliable first serve of Baptiste will be crucial here and whilst Hibino has performed really well to get to the second round, it’s hard to look beyond Baptiste when taking into account what we saw from her against formidable opposition in Haddad Maia. Therefore, consider backing Baptiste to edge this encounter.
