Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus will start another bid for a Grand Slam title on Sunday against Kamilla Rakhimova of Russia in the first round of the women’s singles tournament at the 2025 French Open.
Sabalenka roars into this year’s French Open with a fantastic 11-2 record on clay, playing deep into prestigious tournaments at Stuttgart, Rome and Madrid, where she captured her third WTA crown this year. After losing to Madison Keys in the final of the Australian Open, this year’s Roland Garros presents Sabalenka probably her the biggest chance to wrest a Grand Slam with 4-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek struggling with her form this year.
Rakhimova entered the French Open with a 9-16 overall record in 2025 and 7-7 on clay. The Russian reached the second round of the 2025 Italian Open as a lucky loser before winning 3 of her last 5 matches over the next tournaments before the French Open.

Our Aryna Sabalenka vs Kamilla Rakhimova Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Kamilla Rakhimova covers the spread against Aryna Sabalenka
Why you should bet on Kamilla Rakhimova to cover +7.5 games: Aryna Sabalenka is the overwhelming favorite to win over Kamilla Rakhimova. Still, a -7.5 game handicap is just too wide of a margin to cover even for the world’s No.1. Sabalenka hasn’t played competitive tennis since Zheng Qinwen ousted her in the quarterfinal of the 2025 Italian Open. I am not saying she’s incapable of producing the same kind of dominance because she can deliver emphatic wins. What I am saying is it will take at least the next round for Sabalenka to acclimatize to the court conditions of Roland Garros before she can go full throttle on someone. Besides, in their last meeting, Rakhimova has given Sabalenka a tough time, pushing her to a three-set at the 2025 Citi Open.
