THE PREDICTION
23-year-old Elena Rybakina won her maiden Grand Slam title at Wimbledon last summer but a lack of ranking points in London makes her place in the WTA world rankings all the more impressive. The Kazakh set a new career-high of fourth this week after winning her second Masters title of the season in Rome and she finished runner-up to Aryna Sabalenka at the Australian Open, one of four finals played already in 2023. Despite her recent excellence on grass and hardcourts, Rybakina first came to the fore here at Roland-Garros in 2021 with a stunning victory over Serena Williams in the round of 16 and her all-court prowess sets her out as a clear world number one of the near future. Rybakina has beaten defending Roland-Garros champion Iga Swiatek on three occasions this season to look like the Pole’s main threat here in Paris. 16-year-old Brenda Fruhvirtova already has nine ITF titles to her name as a clear star of the near future alongside her elder sister Linda but this looks way too steep a challenge for now. The world number 146 qualified well this week to look competitive enough to enjoy this outing but Rybakina can be backed to win this match in fewer than 16.5 games.
