Shelby Rogers v Christina McHale Head to Head
The first-round match on Monday will be their first official meeting on the main tour. However, the pair met in a qualifying round of Charleston in 2010, where McHale ran out the winner in three sets.

Rogers Looks to Snap Losing Streak
Shelby Rogers is suffering a mini-crisis if we can put it that way. It is the first time this season that the American has lost three successive matches and enters the event in Strasbourg with that losing streak in mind.
Rogers had been one of the players to watch on the tour during the early part of the season, where she made quite a statement with some searing performances Down Under. She made the quarterfinals of both the Yara Valley Classic and Adelaide, and reached the second week of the Australian Open for the first time in her career.
On her return home soil, she reached the quarterfinals in Charleston 2. But outside the green clay, her performances have dipped in recent weeks.
She was beaten quite handily by Ashleigh Barty at the Madrid Open, and in Rome, she failed to consolidate her advantage in a three-set defeat to Petra Martic.
Those two first-round exits will definitely cost Rogers a seeding spot for Roland Garros regardless of how she fares in Strasbourg this week. It is worth noting the 28-year-old is a former French Open quarterfinalist.

McHale In Dire Form Ahead of Strasbourg
Christina McHale is in dire form. She has registered a single main draw win all year, and that came on the green clay of Charleston.
However, it is not all doom and gloom for the World No. 95 who has impressed in qualifying rounds of the events she has played in. She has been unfortunate of drawing the top names in the first round owing to her low ranking status.
The 29-year-old scored two fine wins in the qualifying draw for the Italian Open. She beat Canadian teenage sensation Leylah Fernandez and Patricia Maria Tig to reach the main draw. However, she lost in quickfire fashion to Russia’s Vera Zvonareva.
Last week in Parma, McHale took a set of local favorite Camila Giorgi in a close first-round exit. Entering the event in Strasbourg for seventh time, McHale’s run of results is alarming, but she could still pose a threat.
Rogers v McHale Prediction and Tip
Rogers will most likely win here against an opponent low in confidence. But we reckon this could turn into a close contest than what the odds suggest.
