THE PREDICTION

World number 11 Veronika Kudermetova reached the quarter-finals here last season and she brings some very promising form into Paris after back-to-back semi-finals in Madrid and Rome. The 26-year-old claimed her only WTA title to date on clay at the Charleston Open in 2021 and recent wins over the likes of Daria Kasatkina, Jessica Pegula, Anastasia Potapova and Qinwen Zheng suggest she could be a genuine dark horse for the title this fortnight. This looks a very kind opener over world number 98 Anna-Karolina Schmiedlova, who is yet to win a tour-level match on clay this season. The Slovak has caused a few upsets in recent majors, winning each of her last four opening fixtures at Grand Slams, but that run looks set to end here. Back Kudermetova to win their first encounter in straight sets.
