LIN ZHU VS ELINA AVANESYAN PREDICTION
World number 70 Elina Avanesyan stunned Belinda Bencic in the first round here last season en-route to a career-best round of 16 exit to eventual runner-up Karolina Muchova. The 21-year-old was forced to retire from her most recent match at the Morocco Open last week but it was likely a precaution as she aims to emulate her success here and she looks to have been offered a relatively kind draw.
World number 59 Lin Zhu brings a four-match losing streak into Roland-Garros, as well as a four-match losing streak on clay on-and-off the tour in recent weeks. The 30-year-old has struggled with her motivation ever since losing her Hua Hin Championships title to Diana Shnaider in a three-set final back in February but she should be able to bounce back on her return to favoured hardcourts later this year. Back Avanesyan to win.
