THE PREDICTION
Former world number three Elina Svitolina should be considered a dark horse for a very deep run indeed at Roland-Garros after making it five wins on the spin on clay with a quality victory over last season’s semi-finalist Martina Trevisan on Monday. The 28-year-old is playing with a new-found purpose after taking a hiatus from tour last season, becoming a mother for the first time, and returning to raise money for her native Ukraine – with her winnings from a 17th WTA title claimed in Strasbourg last week going to children’s charities in her war-torn homeland. Svitolina’s journey will be a well-documented and popular draw for crowds at Roland-Garros and it should take a top 20 player at least to oust her on what we saw against Trevisan. World number 204 Storm Hunter came back from a set down against Nuria Parrizas-Diaz to claim her first ever Grand Slam win on Sunday but the Aussie looks up against it here.
There is always the danger that Svitolina’s body eventually struggles with this sudden injection of matches as she continues to rehabilitate back to tour life but she can be backed to win this in straight sets, as she did in their previous encounter back in 2020.
