Xiyu Wang vs Yuliia Starodubtseva prediction

Yuliia Starodubtseva was the talk of Roland-Garros as she upset second seed Elena Rybakina.

The Ukrainian dominated a match tie-break 10-4 to see off the previously in-form Kazakhstani star by a 3-6 6-1 7-6 scoreline. 

The world number 55 will now tackle Xiyu Wang after the Chinese progressed following a serious-looking injury to Hailey Baptiste. 

Much may depend on how Yuliia recovers from her epic but she should be buzzing with confidence and is worth backing to continue her run at the world number 148’s expense.
