Bianca Andreescu vs Yao Xinxin prediction
Bianca Andreescu looked sharp at the Italian Open last fortnight. Despite minimal match fitness under her best, she defeated top-quality players such as Donna Vekic and Elena Rybakina on tour. The Canadian will have her mind set on entering the main draw in Paris.
Yao Xinxin, on the contrary, reached the second round of the Jiujiang Open last year, which was her best result on the main tour. The youngster has a lot to learn for the highest level and will be eager to perform well against Andreescu. She hasn't played any match on clay this year.
Bianca Andreescu will be a clear favorite to win. The Canadian has been forced to play the qualifiers due to a lengthy absence from the main tour. She should be able to stamp her authority against Xinxin and advance to the next round.
Pick: Andreescu to win in straight sets.
