THE PREDICTION
World number 22 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova looks hungry for a first title since 2018 as she opted to play the Rouen 250 this week instead of the higher-ranked Stuttgart 500. The 32-year-old conceded just two games to Alice Robbe on Tuesday as the top seed amidst a reasonably weak field but she is not the only contender this week, with the likes of Caroline Garcia, Anhelina Kalinina and Yue Yuan also well capable of taking the crown. World number 53 Arantxa Rus also conceded just four games on Tuesday, to Robin Montgomery, but this will be a significant step-up in quality against a former Roland-Garros finalist. It is surprising to find that the pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record, with Rus claiming their only tour-level meeting on clay in Prague four years ago, and the Dutchwoman beat Pavlyuchenkova to the Contrexeville Challenger title last July to warrant further caution. Back Pavlyuchenkova to win outright for caution’s sake.
TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN
