Bernarda Pera of the United States will take her chance against WTA veteran Elina Svitolina of Ukraine in the third round of the 2025 French Open.
Pera moved on to the third round of the French Open for the second time in her career after stunning Donna Vekic of Croatia 6-2 4-6 7-6(3) in the second round. Pera displayed nerves of steel to score the crucial points in a nail-biting tiebreaker in the third set. Pera tallied 45 points off her first serves and five breakpoints to pull off the upset.
Svitolina progressed to the third round with a challenging two-set win over Anna Bondar of Hungary 7-6(4) 7-5. The four-time French Open quarterfinalist leaned on her experience and shot-making ability to squash a resilient fightback from Bondar. Svitolina landed only 51 percent of her first serves, but she compensated for it by winning 22 points on her second serve.

Our Bernarda Pera vs Elina Svitolina Prediction
Why you should bet on Elina Svitolina to win: The last time Svitolina played Pera was 12 years ago in the first round of the 2013 Prague Open. Svitolina won that match in three sets and will most likely win this match again in two simply because she’s a much better player now than she was a decade ago. Pera showed a big heart in her win over Vekic, but her Cinderella run will end at the hands of her old conqueror, Svitolina, who boasts a 5-0 record in third-round matches this year. However, with the spread set at a generous -5.5 games, this is a spot where Pera is capable of covering as long as she sustains her good form from her previous matches in this tourney.
Our betting prediction for Elina Svitolina vs. Bernarda Pera: Bernarda Pera to cover +5.5 games
