French Open day four preview
Novak Djokovic returns to the court at the French Open on Wednesday after his fine first-round victory over Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard on Sunday evening and Frenchman Valentin Royer should not prove too troublesome for the veteran Serb.
In the women’s singles, four-times Roland Garros champion Iga Swiatek will meet Sara Bejlek in the last 64 after dropping only three games in her opener against Australian wild-card Emerson Jones.
Yuliya Starodubtseva vs Elena Rybakina predictions
Elena Rybakina has stepped up to be right in the running to relieve Aryna Sabalenka of her world number one status this year, but that doesn’t mean the Kazakhstan representative will waltz through the early rounds of the French Open.
The second seed made light work of Veronika Erjavec 6-2 6-2 on Monday, but Rybakina may find Yuliya Starodubtseva a tougher nut to crack in round two.
Starodubtseva opened with a fine 6-3 6-1 demolition of Anna Blinkova on Sunday and, given the solid form the Ukrainian has been showing lately, she looks well worth an interest in receipt of a 6.5-game handicap start against the Australian Open champion.
Mariano Navone v Jakub Mensik predictions
The second-round clash between Mariano Navone and Jakub Mensik may quite possibly be the game of the day and it would not be a surprise to see it go long.
Mensik looks one of only a few players who may trouble Jannik Sinner should they meet in the coming days in Paris and the Czech started well enough with a 6-3 6-2 6-4 victory over Titouan Droguet in round one on Sunday.
The level of opposition steps up for Mensik in the last 64 and Navone, a 6-4 6-4 6-4 victor over Jenson Brooksby in his curtain-raiser, is unlikely to be pushed around by Mensik the way Droguet was.
The total-games mark is 37.5 and taking the over may prove a wise move.
Xinyu Wang vs Tamara Korpatsch predictions
Tamara Korpatsch has come in for support to add to her opening 6-4 6-2 win over Sara Sorribes Tormo when she takes on Xinyu Wang for a place in the last 32, but it may not pay to underrate the Chinese player.
Wang posted a 6-3 3-6 6-4 win over Lilli Tagger on Sunday and, given that her Austrian victim is reasonably highly rated on the WTA Tour, the form may be pretty decent.
Wang, 24, was a fine talent as a youngster and, now she is maturing, a clash against the limited Korpatsch could offer her an opportunity to extend her stay in the Paris singles.
