Yanina Wickmayer vs Victoria Azarenka prediction
This French Open will serve as the penultimate Grand Slam of Yanina Wickmayer’s career with the 35-year-old having announced that she will retire after Wimbledon later this summer. She’ll take on Victoria Azarenka, a former semi-finalist at Roland-Garros back in 2013 and two-time Grand Slam champion in Australia.
Azarenka is unbeaten against Wickmayer across her career and her Grand Slam pedigree remains extremely high. A powerful ground game and notorious backhand should serve her well in this encounter as she looks to try and dominate Wickmayer on the court.
Expect Azarenka to dictate the point whenever possible on the baseline and that power is likely to wind up too strong for Wickmayer. With that in mind, consider backing Azarenka not only to win here, but to do so in straight sets.
Yanina Wickmayer vs Victoria Azarenka tip: Victoria Azarenka to win 2-0
