THE PREDICTION
World number 127 Daria Saville won her first match on clay this season with a straight-sets dismissal of Valentini Grammatikopoulou on Monday. However, the 28-year-old did win the Women’s Doubles title at the Strasbourg Open for some solid clay form coming into Roland-Garros. Former world number two Petra Kvitova beat Anna Bondar in straight sets to grab her first win on clay for 2022. The 32-year-old was a semi-finalist here back in 2020 and a decade ago in 2012, with both of her Grand Slam titles coming at Wimbledon in 2011 and 2014.
Daria Saville leads this head-to-head 3-2 with two wins over Kvitova in 2016 at the Australian Open and Madrid Open, their only meeting on clay, and the 2018 Beijing Open when she was still known as Daria Gavrilova. The former world number 20 has grabbed so huge results on her comeback to the tour in recent months but this match looks a proper coupon buster between two fairly unpredictable players at this moment in time. Backing Kvitova to win at least a set seems about as reasonable as Saville, so taking this match to see three sets could be a shrewd move.
