THE PREDICTION
World number two Aryna Sabalenka beat Kamilla Rakhimova in straight sets on Friday to maintain a solid campaign so far in Paris. The 24-year-old is at her best on the faster surfaces, hardcourts and grass, but she is in such great form this season that she is a serious title contender at Roland-Garros – particularly now as she has reached the round of 16 for the first time. This looks the Belarussian’s first true test in Paris against former finalist Sloane Stephens, who is thriving in these conditions. The world number 30 overcame a tough test in Yulia Putintseva to back-up great results over Karolina Pliskova and Varvara Gracheva so far and her exciting playstyle should benefit from the cooler air in this showpiece night match on Phillippe-Chatrier. Sabalenka leads their head-to-head 3-0 but all three of their meetings have needed deciding sets and this is their first on Stephens’ favoured clay. The sensible call remains taking Sabalenka to win outright here but you could consider a one-off on this match to see three sets to leave the victor up to chance.
