Tamara Korpatsch vs Elena-Gabriela Ruse prediction
Tamara Korpatsch enjoyed a strong showing at Roland Garros as she reached the third-round of a major for the first time. She pulled off a shock by defeating Xinyu Wang in round two, but she was then beaten by Elina Svitolina. Her best result on the WTA Tour this season was a final appearance in Ostrava, but she failed to win the title after a defeat to former British number one Katie Boulter.
She faces Elena-Gabriela Ruse in the first-round. Ruse shone at this event last season, making it all the way to the final as a qualifier. She was unable to get over the line as she lost in straight sets to Elise Mertens, but Ruse will have fond memories of how she performed in 2025. The Romanian had to retire in her first-round match against Magdalena Frech at Roland Garros.
Ruse leads the WTA head-to-head 2-0, but this is their first match against each other on grass. Given her record at the event, she does have a slight advantage.
