Kerber Hasn’t Won a Match Here Since 2018
It was a good year for Kerber, 2018, with the German winning the Wimbledon that season and making it to the semifinal of the Australian Open. Add a quarterfinal at Roland-Garros and it sounds like one of the best in the business for the former world number one.
Unfortunately for Kerber, since reaching that last eight place at French Open that season, she hasn’t won a single match at these hallowed courts. Three first round defeats have followed.
As far as her form this season goes, Kerber enters this competition on the back of a 6-8 win-loss record and even that has been bolstered by the results at one tournament.
The good news from Kerber’s point of view is that tournament in question is the ongoing – at the time of writing – Strasbourg Open where she has won four matches in a row to reach the final.
What it also means is Kerber had won just two matches all season before this.
Much like the turnaround for the season, can Kerber turn things around at this tournament now?

Frech Building Steam
While Frech has never been ranked better than her current 86th in the world, she will enter this opening round match with some sort of confidence.
And that’s to do with her performance on clay which have seen her make the second round at Charleston, semifinal at Saint-Malo and quarterfinal in Paris. While those last two tournaments were WTA 125s, there is value in her performances on those given the momentum it gives her heading into this one.
What’s interesting to note is Frech has only won one match at the French Open before this. More interestingly, that has been Frech’s only win at a Grand Slam tournament so far!
Can she challenge the otherwise struggling but curiously in-form Kerber in this opener and double her win count?
Kerber v Frech Prediction and Tip
Kerber is 9/20 to win this and while she has had her struggles, her showing in Strasbourg gives us the confidence she should get through to register her first French Open match win since 2018..
Tip: Kerber to win: 9/20 (Click Here to Bet with bet365)
