YULIIA STARODUBTSEVA VS CRISTINA BUCSA PREDICTION
World number 72 Cristina Bucsa has won two doubles titles on clay in recent weeks to bring some winning form into Roland-Garros, although her singles results leave much to be desired. The 26-year-old partnered Sara Sorribes Tormo to victory at the Madrid Masters last month and she won in Strasbourg on Saturday, alongside Monica Niculescu, but a three-match losing streak in singles says qualifier Yuliia Starodubtseva has a chance at an upset here.
World number 144 Starodubtseva qualified for her Roland-Garros debut without dropping a set this week and she will be eager to build on her overall major debut at Melbourne back in January, where she was unfortunate to draw Ons Jabeur. Back the Ukrainian to earn at least a set on momentum to leave the result up to chance.
