THE PREDICTION
World number 62 Irina-Camelia Begu won her first of four WTA titles at the 2012 Tashkent Open on clay and also she set her best Grand Slam showing at Roland-Garros in 2016 with a run to the round of 16. The Romanian has so far struggled to impose herself on the clay swing but a run to the semi-finals of the St. Petersburg Open back in February is proof of her occasional ability. World number 57 Jasmine Paolini is probably at her best on a hardcourt as she takes a three-match losing streak on the surface into this first round clash but she is a battler capable of occasional big upsets. Both players have beaten Aryna Sabalenka in recent months and their head-to-head record on tour is finely poised at 1-1, with Begu beating Paolini in three sets at the start of this season at Melbourne 2 and the Italian taking their meeting on clay at the Palermo Open in 2019. Paolini’s recent losing run suggests leaning towards Begu is the sensible move here, so take the Romanian to win at least a set.
