🧠 Form & Context

🔁 Consistency at Slams: This marks her 6th straight R3 appearance at RG, and she’s reached the QF here the past two years.
💪 Steamrolling so far: Dropped only 5 games total in wins over Rakhimova and Teichmann.
🏆 Finals machine: Reached 13 finals since 2024, winning 7 titles. She's been a relentless force on tour.
Olga Danilovic
🎯 Paris favorite: Loves the Parisian clay—reached the 4R as a qualifier last year and is back in the R3 after a gritty win over Danielle Collins.
📈 Quiet rise: Claimed titles in Guangzhou, W100 Barcelona, and 125K Antalya, plus a final in Rouen this season.
🎾 Clay queen: Over 36 match wins on clay since the start of 2024—proving she's not to be taken lightly.

🔍 Match Breakdown
Danilovic has the lefty angles, the clay-court comfort, and the belief—especially after beating Collins again in Paris. But Sabalenka is operating at another level.
Her serve and first-strike power has looked nearly untouchable this week, and she’s learned how to control her aggression on clay. Danilovic can hang in rallies but will struggle to withstand repeated pressure on serve.
The question isn’t whether Sabalenka wins—it’s how long Danilovic can delay the inevitable.
🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip
Prediction: Sabalenka in straight sets (6-3, 6-2 range).
Suggested Bet: Under 19.5 games – Sabalenka’s dominance should keep this match short and sharp.
