Also taking place at the Open de Rouen in France on Wednesday is a match between Oleksandra Oliynykova and Lilli Tagger, who was disappointingly knocked out of a tournament on home soil last time out. The Austrian is a useful clay-court player, winning a couple of events on this surface back in 2025, but she's not yet properly up to speed on clay in 2026, which is not something that can be said for the improving Oliynykova, who has played plenty of clay-court tennis in recent weeks.
Oliynykova arrives here off the back of a commanding win last time out, while she recently reached a final in Turkey, so she shouldn't be low on confidence. She's also ranked above Tagger, and there's a reason for that. If we really think about it, should the Ukrainian player be the narrow outsider here? Absolutely not, and on this basis, she goes down as a value bet to clinch this.

Our Oleksandra Oliynykova vs Lilli Tagger Prediction
As mentioned above, Lilli Tagger is definitely a very capable clay-court player, but she hasn't had much chance to really be at her best yet this season.
After a couple of strong performances on home soil last time out, she failed to cope with the pressure against Potapova, losing in straight sets, and that defeat will likely have rocked her confidence. Against a player who has looked very confident of late, a player who has played more clay-court tennis than her recently, she could struggle to justify what is narrow early favoritism.
