Caroline Wozniacki vs Georgina Garcia Perez Tennis Prediction
Caroline Wozniacki clears the first hurdle at her 11th French Open appearance by defeating Danielle Collins, 7-6 6-1. The Dane trailed the first set by a break twice before winning it in the tiebreaker 7-2, which proved to be the decisive blow for the American.
Wozniacki posted a quarterfinal at Paris in 2010, the year she became the world #1. In the subsequent six seasons, she could not clear the third round. But last year, she found herself in another quarterfinal, losing to eventual champion Ostapenko.
Wozniacki, who won her first slam at the 2018 Australian Open (l. Halep), posted decent results in the warm-up events this month. After retiring in Istanbul quarterfinals, she made the third round of Madrid (l. Bertens) and the quarterfinal of Rome (l. Kontaveit).
Georgina Garcia Perez, who is making her Grand Slam main draw debut, defeated lucky loser Dalila Jakupovic in straight sets (6-3 6-4) to ensure her return to the top 200. She was two points away from defeat in the second qualifying round against Claire Liu.
The 26-year-old Spaniard has met three top 50 opponents in her career, out of them the highest-ranked player was #38 Irina-Camelia Begu (lost all three matches in straight sets). A win on Wednesday will give Garcia Perez her new career-high rank (current one is #146).
Wozniacki, meeting Garcia Perez for the first time, is wildly expected to secure this win without any twists. The former world #1 has not lost to an outside top 200 player since falling to #864 Anne Kremer at 2009 Luxembourg.
Tennis Prediction: Caroline Wozniacki 2-0 SET
Odds: 1.40
