Too early to say, but Stuttgart is often a good early indicator for the French...better than Madrid and Rome, actually..

[ashkor87]

I am not yet convinced Coco is really good on clay, not Pegula...so I expect the big 3 to dominate this .Swiatek, Sabalenka, Rybakina..

[ashkor87]

As for the rest, Samsonova is good on clay, Alexandrova is not ..Jabeur is probably still hobbled by injuries..Osta is playing well and is a FO champ...very interested to see how Krejcikova does..love her silky smooth shotmaking..

Remember Ostapenko's record at RG. It is incredibly odd. Starting in 2016:
1r, W, 1r, 1r, 3r, 1r, 2r, 2r.
The oddest slam champion that I can think of.

True but she has been doing reasonably well on hard courts (except against Vika!)

Strangely enough she has done better at Wimbledon..!

[ponchi101]

She has said her favorite surface is grass. And with her go for broke style, you can bet it is.

i mean really... there is only one truly odd result in there

[ashkor87]

I love her, though...

[ashkor87]

great win for QZ over Cirstea, and Paolini over Errani.. of course Cirstea is not a clay court specialist as such (i think) and QZ is very good on clay.. may be she is the one who will surprise us at the FO
