Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-4) for Azarenka – 1.75.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Games Under 21 – 1.72.
Both played quite well in Paris a year ago and are motivated to do well again. Both Victoria and Ana have made focused preparations for the start of the season’s main event. In this case, Azarenka has the advantage in class and the ability to beat such opponents quite confidently.
Bogdan doesn’t have a strong first serve in her arsenal to make life difficult for Victoria. It’s not easy for any tennis player to play on equal terms with the former #1 on the backhand line.
At the last tournament in Rome, Azarenka beat Vikrotija Golubic (6-3, 6-0) and Camila Osorio Serrano (6-3, 6-4) in the opening rounds in two sets, not allowing her opponents to score more than six games. It is unlikely that Bogdan can hope for more today.

In Paris, Victoria Azarenka will defend last year’s points for reaching the 1/8 finals. The Belarusian tennis player has made good preparation for the tournament. She made it to the third round in Madrid and Rome.
In recent tournaments, Victoria has been quite confident in beating inferior opponents. In three of her four victories, she won by 2-0 in sets. She lost only to Amanda Anisimova (1-6, 4-6) and Iga Swiatek (4-6, 1-6).
She has played 6 games on clay this season and has 4 wins.

Ana Bogdan has the difficult task of defending last year’s ranking points for the third round. A year ago, the Romanian tennis player made it to such a high stage rather unexpectedly. Then, she passed Osaka, who withdrew from the competition in the second round.
For the start of Roland Garros, Bogdan put herself in good shape this year. In mid-May, she reached the semi-finals at a tournament in Paris, where she lost to Beatriz Haddad Maia (7-5, 3-6, 1-6). She managed to get past difficult opponents like Fiona Ferro (6-3. 7-5), Magda Linette (7-6, 6-0) and Magdalena Frech (6-2, 6-4).
Bogdan has played 9 games on clay this season and has 7 wins.
