KATIE VOLYNETS VS ALEKSANDRA KRUNIC PREDICTION

Former world number 39 Aleksandra Krunic is currently ranked at 425th but she makes the main draw at Roland-Garros on a protected ranking after suffering an ACL injury in the simmer of 2022.

The Serb took a set from eventual champion Peyton Stearns in the first round of the Rabat Open this week to look competitive on her favoured clay but she is still searching for a first tour-level win since making her tentative return from injury at Wimbledon last summer.

World number 108 Katie Volynets qualified without dropping a set this week to look the relative favourite in this first encounter. The 22-year-old will be eager to build on an excellent performance against world number two Aryna Sabalenka at the Italian Open earlier this month, where she took the first set from the eventual runner-up before defeat in the second round. Back Volynets to win.
