THE PREDICTION
World number 28 Elise Mertens is a solid all-courter with some decent results on clay from recent tournaments but the Belgian’s form has been erratic on tour for some time. The 27-year-old had reached at least the third round of a Grand Slam 19 times in a row until defeat in the first round of the US Open last season but she has never lost her opening two matches at Roland-Garros, with a run to the round of 16 last summer ended by Coco Gauff. World number 136 Viktoria Hruncakova, formerly Kuzmova, made the main draw here in Paris as a lucky loser after falling in the third round to Sara Bejlek and this looks a relatively comfortable opener for Mertens, who leads their head-to-head 2-0 with two very one-sided victories. Back Mertens to win in straight sets.
