Marguax Rouvroy vs Jessika Ponchet prediction

Marguax Rouvroy is currently ranked 253 in the world as she begins her campaign at the Open de Rouen. This will be just her second tournament on the tour this season, having played in a WTA 125 tournament earlier this month, though she had to retire midway through her match with Marina Bassols Ribera.

She made it through qualifying to reach the main draw here with two straight set victories, and she now faces Jessika Ponchet. Ponchet has also barely played on the tour this season, with just one event since the qualifiers of the Australian Open. This was at the Winners Open where she lost in the first round of qualifying.

Neither player has competed much this year, which makes it difficult to gauge where each player is at competitively, but we will give the edge to Ponchet. She has shown how solid she can be with a third round appearance at last year’s US Open.
