The second round of the women’s singles tournament at the French Open will feature the battle between two former Grand Slam winners, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus going up against Sofia Kenin of the United States, on Thursday.
Azarenka kicked off her French Open campaign in a dominant fashion, as the two-time Australian Open champion double bageled Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium 6-0, 6-0 in the first round. Azarenka, who played just three matches during her French Open buildup, won 73 percent of her first serves and broke all 6 serves by Wickmayer to pull off the flawless win.
Another former Australian Open champion, Sofia Kenin, also made a strong impression in the first round as she dismantled Varvara Gracheva of France 6-3 6-1. Kenin conceded 2 service breaks yet she won 70 percent of her first serves and overwhelmed Gracheva in the second set. Sofia Kenin and Victoria Azarenka will play each other for the fourth time in their career.

Our Victoria Azarenka vs Sofia Kenin Prediction
Why you should bet on Sofia Kenin to win the first set: MatchStats gives Sofia Kenin a 60 percent chance of taking the first set. Kenin is type of a player that gets stronger with every win she gets, I believe a strong start is what she needs to suck out the confidence from Azarenka. Kenin (8-4 on clay) also had a more successful buildup than Azarenka, who had lost two of only three warmup matches before the first-round demolition of Wickmayer.
Our betting prediction for Sofia Kenin vs. Victoria Azarenka: Sofia Kenin will win the first set
