THE PREDICTION
World number 21 Magda Linette produced a stunning run to the semi-finals of the Australian Open back in January before defeat to eventual champion Aryna Sabalanka. The 31-year-old has since struggled to perform with a target on her back at some events this season, with this week’s defeat to Cristina Bucsa in the first round of the Strasbourg Open her second immediate exit as the top seed, but a run to the round of 16 at Indian Wells suggested her form was more than just a small blip. World number 51 Leylah Fernandez has been struggling on tour practically ever since returning from a serious foot injury she suffered here last summer, where she produced a stunning run to the quarter-finals before defeat in three sets to Martina Trevisan. The 20-year-old is a big-game player who has never lost a first round match at Roland-Garros but Linette upset Ons Jabeur here this time last season and she is much improved now. The pair share a 1-1 head-to-head record with a win apiece on clay so back Linette to earn at least a set and leave the victor up to chance.
