Tennis Tips & Predictions: French Open - Women's Tournament May 31

Summary

The French Open has been dominated by one woman over the past few years, and Iga Swiatek looks to retake her throne at the top of the game over the next two weeks.

The opposition has certainly levelled up over the past season, although.

Things don’t seem as easy for anyone in the women’s game, and with threats like Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula waiting on the wings, there is always time for an upset or potential new crown in the women’s game.

Clay is always a tricky surface for many of the players on tour, as the bounces are not consistent and there needs to be a strategy for every game.

Big serving players still do well here, but there is not as big an advantage to having a “powerful” game like there is on hard or grass.

Regardless of these conditions, the players will be pouring out their heart and soul for every point played in Paris these next two weeks, and only one will be crowned deserving Champion.
