THE PREDICTION
25-year-old Cristina Bucsa set a new career-high WTA world ranking of 66th this week after some strong results over the likes of Bianca Andreescu and Marie Bouzkova this year. The Spaniard has looked competitive on clay so far this swing but a three-set defeat to her compatriot Rebeka Masarova in Madrid two weeks ago was against the script. Former world number four Sofia Kenin reached the final of Roland-Garros back in 2020 but she has since been struggling to rediscover her fire on tour. The 24-year-old has plenty of time to come good again and she already has twice as many wins this season than she managed in the entirety of 2022 but this looks a tough opener nonetheless. Kenin is certainly a sleeping giant on tour right now but it is impossible to say when she will next wake up. Back Bucsa to earn at least a set as the more consistent performer right now and leave the victor up to chance.
