Laura Siegemund vs Francesca Jones prediction
Laura Siegemund’s clay court season ended with a first-round defeat at Roland Garros to four-time slam champion Naomi Osaka. Her highlight was getting through to the third-round of the Italian Open, and that remains her best result of the season. The veteran is still ranked inside the top 50 of the world rankings, but she has a negative win-loss record in 2026, with 10 defeats from 17 matches. However, she is a dangerous player on grass, as demonstrated by her run to the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year, where she pushed world number one Aryna Sabalenka close.
Her first-round opponent is Francesca Jones. The Brit broke new ground last time out as she won her first ever match at a Grand Slam at the seventh attempt, defeating Beatriz Haddad Maia in round one of Roland Garros. She then lost to Marie Bouzkova. Despite that achievement, Jones has struggled to impose herself on the WTA Tour since her run to the quarter-finals in Auckland at the start of the year.
Jones will have home support and could test Siegemund for stretches of this match, but the German is a clear favourite to win.
