ERIKA ANDREEVA VS ARYNA SABALENKA PREDICTION

World number two Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended her Australian Open title at the start of the season to prove, to herself perhaps more than others, that she deserves her place fighting it out for the top of the game.

The 26-year-old failed to defend her Madrid Open title earlier this month, losing a modern classic in three sets to world number one Iga Swiatek, and she fell once again to the Pole in the Rome final two weeks later to foreshadow how Roland-Garros might play out but, if she can find her Madrid level, she is well capable of an upset over the two-time defending champion.

World number 101 Erika Andreeva enjoyed a decent run at the Paris Challenger last week but she has drawn far too short of a straw here. Back Sabalenka to hit the ground running in straight sets.

ERIKA ANDREEVA VS ARYNA SABALENKA TIP: ARYNA SABALENKA TO WIN 2-0
