The 15th seed, however, still needs to be wary of the tenacious Ana Bogdan.The Romanian showcased her claycourt prowess and incredible fighting skills in her match against Badosa last year, going toe-to-toe with the Spaniard from the baseline. She fired plenty of winners -- especially off her lethal backhand wing -- and will be looking to step out with an aggressive mindset on Monday.One area Bogdan will need to work on is her second serve, especially against the quality of Azarenka's return.Azarenka has not had the ideal build-up to this year's French Open and has struggled against power hitters. A passive approach will allow Bogdan time to settle and she definitely possesses the weapons needed to punish the Belarusian.Pick: Ana Bogdan to win in three setsAlso Check Out :- French Open 2022 Schedule
