LiontipsKarolina Pliskova vs Sloane Stevens. Predictions and Betting Tips for WTA Roland Garros
Command Analysis
During the last few years Karolina Pliskova doesn't have any significant success at Roland Garros. In the previous year she lost to Ostapenko in the second round (4:6, 2:6). Before that she was defeated in the third round for two years in a row.
Before this tournament Pliskova reached the final on one of her favourite tournaments in Rome. Though everyone in the Italian capital will mostly remember Karolina because of her humiliating loss in the final match to Swiatek (0:6, 0:6). Czech played hasn't impressed in the first round match against Vekic, despite a win in straight sets (7:5, 6:4). Her opponent was without a match practice for a long time because of a long recovery after the surgery.
After a final at Paris in 2018 Sloane Stevens reached the quarter-final in 2019, but then managed only to reach the second round.
Stevens approached the current tournament on a good form, reaching the semi-final of Parma tournament. In the first round at Paris Sloane recorded a dramatic win over Carla Suarez Navarro (3:6, 7:6, 6:4). That win can gain some self-confidence to American player.
