🎾 WTA French Open - 2nd Round
Anhelina Kalinina vs Lois Boisson
🧠 Form & Context
Anhelina Kalinina
⚠️ Season Slump: Entered Roland-Garros in dismal form, winning just 4 matches in her last 10 tournaments.
💥 R1 Revival: Defied the odds to dismiss Elina Avanesyan 6-1, 6-2, delivering her cleanest win in months.
📉 GS Second Round Woes: Holds a 1-7 career record in Slam second rounds and has never reached R3 in Paris.
👣 French Clay Familiarity: Beat Boisson twice on clay before—including in Paris qualies in 2021.
Lois Boisson
🌟 Breakthrough Moment: Stunned 24th seed Elise Mertens in her Grand Slam main draw debut—her biggest career win.
🎾 Wildcard Wonder: Ranked outside the top 350 but fearless in front of the home crowd.
🏠 Parisian Push: Strong support, strong surface—she has 5 titles on clay since the start of 2024.
🆕 Tour Rookie: Only made her WTA main draw debut a month ago. Despite the inexperience, she's already top-100 scalp hunting.
🔍 Match Breakdown
On paper, Kalinina holds the clear upper hand in both ranking and head-to-head, and she seemed dialed in during her R1 demolition of Avanesyan. However, Boisson is playing with house money, high on confidence, and has already shown she can rise to the big occasion. Expect the French crowd to make a difference, but if Kalinina sustains her first-round level, her experience should prevail.
🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip
Prediction: Kalinina in 2 tight sets.
Suggested Bet: Under 20.5 Total Games – Boisson’s fairytale debut ends here unless Kalinina's level drops drastically. If the Ukrainian starts cleanly, this could be a swift, businesslike win.
