2021 Semifinalist Zidanšek in Strife
The 25th-ranked Zidansek looked to have surprised a few with her French Open performance last season, by reaching the semifinal. That helped her get herself a 21-6 win-loss record on clay for the season.
This season, however, Zindansek has had to scramble to find herself a win. And on clay, the issues have been even more pronounced.
Zidansek is currently 6-7 on win-loss for the season, having won just one of her four matches played on clay.
It started with a shock loss at the hands of Laura Siegemund (23/10 odds to win it) in Stuttgart, a second round defeat to Victoria Azarenka in Madrid and then an opening defeat to Darya Kasatkina in Rome.
Not to mention, Zidansek’s sudden drop in form first came at Indian Wells where she lost in the first round and followed it up with another opening defeat in Miami as well.
Can Zidansek turn things around against a player ranked nearly 70 places behind her?

Liu Hoping for Maiden Main Draw Win at RG
In three previous attempts at French Open, Liu hasn’t managed to win a round so far. This is a tad surprising for a player who had reached the quarterfinal of the junior’s French Open in 2017.
Coming into this match, however, there is a high likelihood of Liu turning that record around and that’s thanks to her showing so far on clay this season.
After getting to the third round in Charleston and the quarterfinal at Saint-Malo Open on the WTA 125 circuit, Liu won her maiden WTA title in Paris in May. And while that came on the WTA 125 circuit again, it would have instilled in her a solid belief coming into this second Grand Slam of the season.
Liu will also be contesting in another final, this time at the highest level on the WTA circuit, in Rabat, and with a 12-2 win-loss record to go with her for the year, it should come as no surprise she starts off a favourite here.
Zidanšek v Liu Prediction and Tip
While Zidansek is that much higher-ranked than her opponent, Liu’s form makes her our pick to come through in this opener.
Tip: Liu to win: 8/11 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
