Magdalena Frech vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse prediction
Elena-Gabriela Ruse has proven to be a good player on clay court with positive results on this surface throughout her career. Against an opponent whom she’s had success against in the past, Ruse has reason to believe she can progress through to the second round of the French Open for what would be the second straight year.
Whilst she’s enjoyed more success at Roland-Garros as a doubles player, reaching the semi-finals previous, Ruse is a strong singles competitor as well and Frech has a challenge ahead of her. The Pole has never progressed beyond the second round but has made it past the first round in two of the past four years.
Expect a close contest between these two and one which is capable of swinging either way. The value move may well be to play a three-set encounter, regardless of who emerges victorious.
Magdalena Frech vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse tip: Over 2.5 total sets
