THE PREDICTION

Former world number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova is on the long road back from surgery that ended her season early last year. The 31-year-old finished runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova here back in 2021, finally reaching a Grand Slam semi-final at the seventh time of asking, and she will be a tough draw for anyone in Paris in conditions that suit her. The Russian stunned Magda Linette to reach the quarter-finals of the Strasbourg Open on Wednesday before running out of steam against Lauren Davis but she will take confidence and no pressure into Roland-Garros to meet Linda Fruhvirtova for the first time. 18-year-old Fruhvirtova is making her Roland-Garros debut here and she is yet to lose a first round match at a major, with January’s remarkable run to the round of 16 at the Australian Open promising bug things from yet another rising star. The Czech takes a three-match losing streak into Paris and some pretty concerning form on her favoured clay but there should be a little lift on this huge stage. This match is wide open but back Pavlyuchenkova to utilise all her experience to earn at least a set as the just-about likelier victor.
