Caroline Garcia v Taylor Townsend Head to Head

Garcia Returns from Foot Injury
Frenchwoman Garcia had opted to take a break from the sport to be able to recover from her foot injury that had forced her to retire from the first round of Miami Open in March. Since then she hasn’t played any competitive tennis.
What that means is Garcia would be rusty coming into her home Grand Slam, having also not played a single match on clay since July last year.
The good news for Garcia is she has done her bit at Roland-Garros in the past.
For instance, in 2017, Garcia was one of the quarterfinalists at the tournament, and then followed that up with two appearances in the fourth round at both, 2018 and 2019 editions.
For her to get going, however, might take some time here but she does have the game to get quickly into her own on clay.

Townsend Slowly Moving up the Charts Again
Townsend had been out of action from tennis too, with her hiatus was to do with the birth of her child last season. It was only earlier in 2022 that Townsend opted to return to tennis with her appearances at the UTR Pro Match Series, where she won all her six matches.
Moving through the ranks on the ITF circuit, Townsend made it to the quarterfinals at Palm Harbor and Charlottesville before winning her first title on return.
It came at the Charleston ITF competition, where Townsend won five matches in a row to jump nearly 600 places from her season low of 903 to her current 334th in the world.
What needs to be seen is if that is enough for her to challenge a higher-ranked but rusty Garcia.
Garcia v Townsend Prediction and Tip
Townsend starts off a favourite on the back of her recent form and we will have to back her to win this one.
