THE PREDICTION
Less than a week since meeting for the first time in the Strasbourg Open final, Elina Svitolina will face Anna Blinkova in the third round of Roland-Garros in a likely thrilling rematch. 24-year-old Blinkova will be desperate for the opportunity to gain revenge after a strong campaign in Strasbourg last week and she is coming off a career-best ranking win over home favourite Caroline Garcia on Wednesday where she fought valiantly on two fronts as the crowd did their partisan best to aid the fifth seed. Former world number three Svitolina will enjoy that full support as an adopted home favourite both as the wife of Gael Monfils and after donating her winnings in Strasbourg to Ukrainian children last week, meaning it is quite possible that the atmosphere could turn quite nasty against Russia’s Blinkova here.
Svitolina came back from a set down to beat Storm Hunter on Wednesday but she should be better for a mini scare as she takes a six-match winning streak on clay into the third round. Back the Ukrainian to do everything in her power to edge through this much tougher second meeting with Blinkova, with three sets likely this time around.
