THE PREDICTION

World number 22 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova was top seed at the Rouen Open last week but she was stunned by Arantxa Rus in three sets in the round of 16. The 32-year-old is an excellent all-courter but her best results have come on clay in recent seasons, finishing runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova at Roland-Garros in 2021 and fabulously reaching the quarter-finals there last season despite only just returning from a long injury hiatus. World umber 96 Daria Saville beat Hailey Baptiste in straight sets on Wednesday on that unquantifiable second wind as a lucky loser, with Jaqueline Cristian beating her in qualifying, but the Aussie should run out of luck here. The pair shared two fierce three-set clashes in seven years ago, with Pavlyuchenkova beating Saville (then known as Daria Gavrilova) to lift the Hong Kong Open title in 2017, but the Russian is currently far better than her former compatriot in these conditions. Back Pavlyuchenkova to win in two.

TIP: ANASTASIA PAVLYUCHENKOVA TO WIN 2-0
