LiontipsKarolina Pliskova vs Donna Vekic. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Roland Garros
Command Analysis
We can't say that this is a successful season for Karolina Pliskova. We saw an inconsistent and below average performances from the Czech player. But even in that form Karolina managed to advance to the final of her favourite Rome tournament. Of course a 0:6, 0:6 loss to Iga Swiatek was not expected and no one could gave that prediction. But Pliskova will try to redeem herself at Paris tournament.
Pliskova doesn't have any major achievements at Roland Garros. But she regularly advances through one or two rounds at Paris. In the previous year she advanced to the second round, but then lost to Ostapenko (4:6, 2:6).
In 2021 Donna Vekic played only on three tournaments, all of them were in the beginning of the season. On February 15, Croatian player lost in the round of 16 to Jennifer Brady (1:6, 5:7) and that was her most recent official match.
The reason of such a long break is a knee surgery and recovery after it. Donna is unlikely to show her best performance in the first match. Moreover, she will play against an uncomfortable opponent - in three out of four head-to-head matches Vekic lost to Pliskova.
