IRENE BURILLO ESCORIHUELA VS MOYUKA UCHIJIMA PREDICTION

22-year-old Moyuka Uchijima set a career-high WTA world ranking of 80th earlier this month after bursting into form on the ITF circuit, winning four of her last five tournaments to bring some of the most convincing form around into her Roland-Garros debut.

Three of those titles came on clay to suggest she has the momentum required to cause most players a problem in the early rounds but world number 302 Irene Burillo Escorihuela blasted through qualifying without dropping a set to make this an intriguing first encounter between the pair.

This could end up a sleeper hit on Tuesday between two debutantes desperate to take the huge opportunity but back Uchijima to reach the second round on her current trajectory.
