Jessica Pegula is the fifth seed at this year’s French Open and begins her campaign with an opening round duel with Kimberly Birrell. This is their second career meeting and the first at a major. Birrell has not just lost five matches in a row but also lost in the only meeting with Pegula, which directs this prediction towards Pegula.
Birrell is struggling, and arrives in Paris desperate for a spark to turn around her season. The Australian has lost five straight matches and has yet to win on clay courts.
With a shaky 16-13 record, Birrell starts a new week ranked outside the WTA top 80 at position 83. The 28-year-old, who has never won a match at Roland Garros, was in action at the Paris Challenger last time out.
Jessica Pegula is defending 240 points after her run to the fourth round here last season. The American is a former French Open quarter-finalist who hasn’t lost an opening round tie at this major since the 2020 edition.
Starting the week as the world number five, Pegula has been one of the top performers this season. She has compiled a dominant 28-6 record and is 9-2 on clay.
She has won titles in Charleston and Dubai and has made it to at least the quarter-finals in five other events.
