Maria Sakkari vs Maja Chwalinska prediction

Former semi-finalist Maria Sakkari will be pleased to have ended a recent first round hoodoo in Paris.

The Greek had lost her opening match at Roland-Garros for three years in a row prior to progressing in 2026 at the expense of 12th seed Linda Noskova.

The world number 49 will be a favourite to keep her run going against a Polish underdog ranked 65 places below her on the WTA ladder, but Maja Chwalinska has been raising a few eyebrows at Roland-Garros.

The 24-year-old is operating in and around her career high and has already beaten Qinwen Zheng and Elise Mertens in straight sets here.

There’s definitely the potential for an upset in this one with Maja comfortable on the dirt and hitting freely with nothing to lose.
