🎾 WTA French Open - 3rd Round
Jasmine Paolini vs Yuliia Starodubtseva
🧠 Form & Context
Jasmine Paolini
🌟 Top-tier breakout: From a fringe tour player to Grand Slam finalist and WTA 1000 champion.
📈 8-match win streak: Dominated Tomljanovic in R2, dropping just six games.
🎯 Now a favorite: Into R3 as the No. 4 seed and showing tactical brilliance on clay.
Yuliia Starodubtseva

💣 R2 upset: Beat Potapova by saving key points and exploiting 46 unforced errors.

🔍 Match Breakdown
Starodubtseva’s run has been admirable, but Paolini is operating on another level. With superior consistency, footwork, and tactical awareness, the Italian should control this contest. Unless Paolini falters mentally or the Ukrainian redlines her serve, the outcome appears one-sided.
🔮 Prediction & Bet Tip
Prediction: Paolini in straight sets.
Suggested Bet: Under 18.5 games – Paolini’s form suggests she could close this out efficiently.
