🎾 WTA French Open - 2nd Round
Daria Kasatkina vs Léolia Jeanjean
🧠 Form & Context
Daria Kasatkina
🇷🇺 Rusty but Resilient: Needed three sets to get past Katerina Siniakova in R1, her first win since Madrid.
📉 Momentum Missing: Hasn’t strung together back-to-back wins since February and is 3–7 in her last ten matches.
🎾 Roland-Garros Pedigree: A former quarterfinalist (2018) and semifinalist (2022), the clay experience is certainly there.
Léolia Jeanjean
🇫🇷 Local Inspiration: Came from the brink of defeat to win her R1 match after Begu’s mid-match retirement.
🚀 Late Bloomer Rise: Entered the top 100 for the first time at age 29 after ITF titles and strong spring form.
🏠 Home Court Heroine: All four of her Slam wins have come in Paris, clearly feeding off the French crowd.
🔍 Match Breakdown
Kasatkina's clay-court IQ, rally tolerance, and defensive skills remain high even if her confidence isn't. Jeanjean will have the home crowd behind her and has made a habit of playing inspired tennis at Roland-Garros, but she lacks the firepower or consistency to overwhelm Kasatkina if the Russian keeps her unforced errors in check. Expect the Frenchwoman to make this scrappy, but not sufficient to pull the upset.
🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip
Prediction: Daria Kasatkina in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Kasatkina -4.5 games – Expect a competitive but controlled win from the Russian, with her court craft proving decisive.
