THE PREDICTION
World number 64 Tatjana Maria would be ranked a lot higher had her points from a remarkable run to the semi-finals of Wimbledon last summer been awarded and the 35-year-old should not be underestimated here. Maria successfully defended her Bogota Open title on clay last month and she will be desperate to emulate her feelgood campaign from SW19 last season on her favoured surface. It is also worth noting that despite Beatriz Haddad-Maia’s excellent past 12 months on tour the Brazilian has lost in the first round in two of her last three Grand Slam appearances and she has yet to make it past the second round at any major. The world number 14 put in a great run to the quarter-finals of the Italian Open last week before losing the longest WTA match of the season to Anhelina Kalinina and that defeat could take its toll, emotionally and physically, ahead of playing the clear favourite in this opener in Paris. A first tour-level meeting between the two should be going Haddad-Maia’s way but the suitably cautious pick here is taking the Brazilian to earn at least a set to leave the victor up to chance.
