THE PREDICTION
Two tour veterans meet here for what should be a well-attended first round clash between former world number five Sara Errani and former number 11 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Both players have favoured clay throughout their careers. 35-year-old Errani finished runner-up at Roland-Garros to Maria Sharapova in 2012 in the first of four consecutive seasons in which she reached at least the last eight there whilst 31-year-old Pavlyuchenkova more recently made her first Grand Slam final at Roland-Garros before finishing runner-up to Barbora Krejcikova in 2021. The Russian is on the long road back from a lengthy injury lay-off right now but a first round victory at the Madrid Masters last week should see her in better shape this week. Errani will be well-backed but the Italian should struggle to match Pavlyuchenkova in most departments. Pavlyuchenkova leads their head-to-head 5-2 and she has won both of their clay encounters. Backing her to win outright is the cautious move for an accumulator here but she should be taking this in two.
