LIUDMILA SAMSONOVA VS ELISABETTA COCCIARETTO PREDICTION
World number 17 Liudmila Samsonova made short work of former semi-finalist Amanda Anisimova on Thursday and she has conceded just five games so far to look a dark horse at Roland-Garros.
The 25-year-old is one of the streakier players on tour but she burst into form at the Strasbourg Open last week, reaching the semi-finals before defeat to eventual champion Madison Keys, and she is one of the few remaining players in the draw with a hard-hitting game that could trouble Iga Swiatek.
World number 51 Elisabetta Cocciaretto should not be underestimated, though, as the more natural clay-courter of the two, with her comeback over last year’s semi-finalist Beatriz Haddad-Maia a big opening statement on Monday. The Italian won her maiden WTA title on clay at the Lausanne Ladies Open last summer but Samsonova looks the favourite on current form. Back the Russian to reach the round of 16.
