Barbora Krejcikova and Elsa Jacquemot, both unseeded, will face off in the first round of the Rome Open. This will be their first career meeting, and the winner will advance to play top seed Aryna Sabalenka. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Barbora Krejcikova has returned to the tour after three months out. Injuries have disrupted the Czech star since the tail end of last season, and she will be hoping to finally get over these health concerns.

Krejcikova, a former French Open champion, will be looking to find some momentum in the Italian capital before the major in Paris. She has so far played six matches this season, winning three times. Currently 51st in the live rankings, Krejcikova is making her season debut on clay.

Elsa Jacquemot has already played seven times on clay in 2026. She, however, hasn’t found any consistency on the surface, which has been the story of her season.

The Frenchwoman, who has won just five times so far this season, has compiled a 3-4 record on clay. Jacquemot has won just two first-round ties so far in 11 events.

She is currently on a three-match skid and was eliminated in the first round in the Saint-Malo Challenger last time out. Jacquemot, 63rd in the live ranking, is competing in the main draw in Rome for the first time.
