THE PREDICTION
World number 71 Varvara Gracheva reached the third round of Roland-Garros last season, stunning Camila Giorgi in the second round on her second appearance in Paris. The 21-year-old has looked good in parts of the clay swing this season too, taking a set from eventual Madrid Open champion Ons Jabeur a few weeks ago after beating Alize Cornet in three sets. World number 144 Astra Sharma won her first WTA singles title on clay at last season’s Charleston Open 250 - seemingly out of the blue. The 26-year-old has since struggled to emulate that level but she has enjoyed some positive results on clay in recent weeks and this remains a big opportunity for both players. Gracheva’s run here last season suggests taking her to win at least a set is the sensible way to lean in this first meeting between the two.
