Hailey Baptiste, the 26th seed at the 2026 French Open, will take on former champion Barbora Krejcikova in the first round. This marks a third meeting between the two. Baptiste’s 17-12 record this season places her as a favorite here and is backed by our prediction.
A flying Baptiste is taking Europe by storm this clay season, already beating Aryna Sabalenka, Belinda Bencic, and Jasmine Paolini, among others. The 24-year-old will be looking to add a title to such big wins.
She is marking a fifth appearance here and has only lost once in the first round. The American has also progressed past this round in eight of 11 events this year. Heading into this match, she sits 26th in the live rankings.
Krejcikova is a two-time Grand Slam winner, among them the French Open title in 2021. However, 2026 hasn’t been a great year. She has only won eight times this season, and most of them came in the lower levels.
A thigh injury in February didn’t help her season’s targets, sidelining her for seven weeks. She arrives here looking to improve on her dwindling record that reads 1-4 since winning this title.
The 30-year-old has also struggled against lower-ranking players, losing all her last four meetings with top-30 opponents. The former world number two is 41st in the live rankings.

Our Hailey Baptiste vs Barbora Krejcikova Prediction
Hailey Baptiste has hit good form on European clay and can only hope to add a title to that. She’s overcome a few big names and will be looking to extend her impressive opening round record. In her four previous appearances here, the American only lost once in the opening round.
Meanwhile, Krejcikova only made it past the first-round last year since winning this title in 2021. That run and poor form will not be very helpful for the Czech. Our prediction for Hailey Baptiste v Barbora Krejcikova is that Hailey Baptiste wins.
