Tamara Korpatsch vs Yuliia Starodubtseva prediction
Originally, Tamara Korpatsch was supposed to be facing Sorana Cirstea in the French Open first round, but Cirstea was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to medical issues, meaning ‘lucky loser’ Yuliia Starodubtseva takes her place in the competition. The Ukrainian was originally beaten 6-0, 6-4 by Sara Bejlek in the final round of qualifying.
The late change in opposition could end up throwing off Korpatsch, who would’ve been planning for Cirstea and whether this has an adverse effect on her game remains to be seen, but there’s little pressure of Starodubtseva’s shoulders considering that she wasn’t supposed to be in the main draw at all, making this a bonus match from her perspective.
Korpatsch may well find it difficult to adapt to her opponent here and a slow start from the German wouldn’t be a surprise. With that in mind, it may well be worth backing this one to be decided in three sets rather than two.
