On the WTA side of things at Roland Garros, there are several first-round matches taking place on Sunday, one of which sees qualifer Lucia Bronzetti, who needed to come through three preliminary matches to reach the first round, take on world number 27 Marie Bouzkova. On paper, this should be nice and easy for the Czech player, who is clearly superior to her opponent on rankings. However, Bouzkova does not arrive in form, losing her most recent match to a lower-ranked player, while she really hasn't be averse to coming unstuck in clay-court as the favorite in recent times.
Lucia Bronzetti is clearly playing Bouzkova at the right time, and given that the Italian player has had three Roland Garros matches to warm up and get used to the conditions, she looks a decent bet to, at the very least, avoid a straight-set defeat, which is exactly what she's done on a regular basis over the last month or so.

Our Lucia Bronzetti vs Marie Bouzkova Prediction
If we knew for a fact that Marie Bouzkova was fighting fit, then she would be hard to go against here. However, the Czech player has not seemed entirely herself in recent weeks, while she's far from in form, so let's be honest, it won't be the hugest shock in the world if she struggles to dominate this match quite as much as the early betting suggests that she should.
Bouzkova arrives off the back of a defeat to a lower-ranked player in Strasbourg, while Bronzetti has warmed up nicely for this by securing a couple of qualfiying wins already, getting nicely used to the tournament conditions.
Our Lucia Bronzetti vs Marie Bouzkova Pick: Lucia Bronzetti +1.5 Set Handicap.
